Email is a service that allows people to send messages to anyone via the Internet and has became a popular frequently used technological innovation within the years since the internet was made. Ray Tomilson is known for creating the first email through a system named ARPANET. The conecpt of email has been used by many comapnies to replicate Rays work. But he was the first person to use the concept(a breif history of email, 2021).
Ray Tomlinson was tasked with solving problems at his work and he was tasked with solving the ARPANET's complex email system which was able to send and recive messages in a pimitive way but, Ray Tomilson managed to find a way for messages to reach a specific computer by using an asperand to send the message to a dircet adress by using innovative and prior knowledge. that is the first internet mail that was dircetly sent and recieved and this would play a big role for future innovators to develop email into what it is today(Official Biography, 2022).
The Email innovation is impossible to be told without Arapnet. Arpanet (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) was created by various instutions to come up with better ways of communication for the military and to create new innovations with computers. Arpanet was created in 1966 and was replaced by the 1990's. Arpanet can be considered the first internet and it was used by Tomlinson to create Email(Hope, 2017).
Ray Tomlinson is known to create the first email but it would be good to know where he started. "Raymond Samuel Tomlinson was born in Amsterdam, New York in 1941." (Official Biography, 2022). He started in America where ARPANET was also born and he had numerous educational achievements and showable innovator traits. with many years of education he started to work at BBN which is the company that he worked with to develop ARPANET's Email service. (Official Biography, 2022).
Throughout the years, Email has been refined and perfected through multiple companies which all took inspiration from ARPANET and Tomlinson in some way. With companies and almost everyone using Email, there have been major impacts in the way people communicate since Email is one of the main ways people communicated and still communicate. Through access to worldwide communication, Email has changed and inspired others to make world changing technology and innovations.
Since Tomlinson inspired others back when he created Email, he has made Email innovation possible. The comapnies that have brought email to practical use are:
-Gmail
-Yahoo
-Outlook
-Icloud
Some of these email services have allowed people to communicate with anyone and cemented Email as an outstanding innovation, There are many businesses that use email and it shows how important email is since it provides well communication.
To compare then and now to the emailing service as a whole it can be considered that it has come a long way. From Tomlinsons huge innovation, APARANET's email service became the normal way of communication through email after the discovery that anyone can use and send messages through ARPANET instead of just internal networks.(a breif history of email, 2021). From there people used the concept of email to make it mainstream and the rest is history(a breif history of email, 2021).
Email has been avalibale for a long time and there is clearly pros and cons for the email.
Cons:
-Spam emails
-hackers trying to steal information
- can slow phones down
Pros:
-worldwide communication
-fast messaging service
-free
No one knows what will exactly happen to Email in the future, Some people consider email to be "dead" in our current times but Tomlinsons creation will lead to the expansion of possibly better and faster communications around the globe. the time of Email could be coming to an end with all of the technological innovations being created but peope will always have to appreciate where communication started, and value the work that Tomlinson did.
