What Is Email?

What is Email?

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).

How Email Was Born

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).

Arpanet

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).

The Innovator

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.

then and now: impactful history
