so you mean E-mail didn't just create itself!?
After hearing my little Nessa's presentation in class, and reading her blog, my eyes opened to a whole new realization about the history of E-mail.
There is no way I could live without E-mail. I'm so dependent on it. It's an amazing way of communication. Fast, free, mostly reliable, and easy to use. I never really pondered how E-mail came about. I thought maybe E-mail sprang from our fast paced lifestyle.
I would never have associated E-mail with the year 1968! Or the Department of Defense, for that matter. Nessa tells all about the history on her blog entry.
This site is very interesting. Even though they spell defense incorrectly.
I never realized just how out of the loop I was when it came to knowledge of the origination of electronic technology. Computers and E-mail were created long before I was born. Things I take for granted every day used to not exsist, and some genuis had to think them up. Props to them!
Haha! Thanks Chris...it just looks SO wierd!
Defence.
Defense.
!?!?
I have a best friend who lives in Scotland whom I talk to often, I should be used to those odd UK Spellings. =D
Actually, Stormy, I think that defense can be spelled with a C too, although I think that's the British way of spelling it, so maybe when that department was created we were still using the old grammar of GB.
