Weekly Dooley: 27

First Ever Text Message

Question: When was the very first Text Message sent?


Leave your guesses below and check back later today for the answer!


Answer: The first text was sent on December 3rd, 1992!

Neil Papworth, a 22-year-old software programmer from the UK, sent the first ever text message from a computer to his colleague Richard Jarvis wishing him a "Merry Christmas." Neil had been working as a developer and test engineer to create a Short Message Service (SMS) for his client, Vodafone.


Why "Dooley?"

Inspired by the founder's alma mater - Emory University's spirit mascot, Dooley represents the voice of the student body. And when Dooley shows up to your class, you can count on a fun time and the rest of the day off!
