Origin
In medieval Europe, people were to publish a book completely by hand. Because "at" is used very frequently, in order to reduce the fatigue of hand-engraved people came up with an abbreviation form of "at", that is, draw a circle around "a", so the symbol "@" appears, which represents the word "at".
Not falling
With the development of printing technology and equipment, people no longer use "@" to replace "at", but "@" has been retained. However, the "@" at this time is mainly used to indicate the unit price of the product, so the frequency of use is greatly reduced.
New life
The development of computer networks has raised many new issues, and how to represent an email address is one of them. In 1971, American Tang Linsen was ordered to find a format for representing an email address. Considering that many people will use their own names as the name of the email, Tang Linsen selected the symbol "@" that is not used frequently and will never appear in the name to separate the username and server. This allows emails to be delivered accurately over the network to the recipient's email.
It is the use of "@" in emails that has made "@" come back and the frequency of use has increased greatly.
