Interesting about email

In this article, I would like to talk about sore points about my own e-mail, but you cannot deviate from the format of the article, so before the sore point I will tell you about the history of the appearance of such a thing as e-mail. Paper letters, as well as faxes, lost their popularity after the appearance of e-mail in the early 90s. The popularity of this service is great even today - despite the transition of many people to personal correspondence. Information about how this direction has developed, and what has changed over the years:

1. First formal email
Not everyone knows that Ray Tomlinson was the first person to send a real email. He was involved in the implementation of various ideas of the ARPANET Institute in Massachusetts, but among his tasks, there was no item on the introduction of electronic correspondence. He decided to try to realize such an idea, based on his own considerations. Ray believed that this was a promising direction, and the idea itself was very creative.
Electronic communications began their development precisely at the moment when the letter was transferred between computers - this was the first e-mail. The innovator himself was still able to remember what exactly he wrote - but he tends to think that it was not a coherent speech, but rather "QWERTYUIOP".

2. The emergence of spam
According to the most common versions - the name itself appeared after the Monty Python show. There, a choir of disguised Vikings sang odes to canned food from Hormel Foods - well, they were called "SPAM".
Today "spam" is unsolicited mail, a variety of advertising, a little earlier this word was called offensive behavior on the Web. This value comes from the chats of various multiplayer games.

3. Most popular password
You will be surprised - but "123456" is the leader in this nomination, most Internet users do not distrust such a "complex" password.

4. "Easter eggs" in the folder with "Spam"
Google has prepared a kind of Easter egg for some accounts. You can find it by going to Spam. This is a very funny and useful joke - an advertisement for canned pork and a link to a huge number of recipes, guess what the preservation is called? That's right - SPAM.

5. Where did @ come from
@ was first shown in the early 15th century. Spanish merchants used this sign to measure goods. The measure was used when buying livestock or wine, it is a kind of abbreviation for "arroba", the full name of this measure.
Further, this sign was used as a price tag, as well as marks for accountants' reports. Only after such a long journey, this sign appeared on our keyboards. Remember Ray Tomlinson? Well, it was he who turned his attention to such a strange sign.

6. Correct email name
Everything is very simple here - depending on who you ask, the answers can vary greatly. Some resources claim that "email" is the correct abbreviation, while others insist on using the hyphen "e-mail".

7. Symbol name "@"
It's not as simple as you might think, "commercial at" and "doggy" are not the only names.
Germany, and also Poland, is a monkey, or a paperclip;
Spain - a measure of weight;
Turkey - the designation of a rose;
Israel - sweet strudel.
There are a lot of meanings, and in each country they can differ significantly.

8. Cosmic e-mail, what was the first message
In mid-1991, using AppleLink, the first email of this type was sent. On board the Atlantis, a huge shuttle, a small Macintosh was used to transmit the following:
In the letter, the STS-43 crew greeted the Earth, talked about how cool it is in space, at the end, there was a reference to the cult movie at that time - the second part of the Terminator. It was this message that was the first of its kind - it would be a really important and significant day.

9. Hacking "cartoon" e-mail
The mail of the world's most famous lover of donuts and sweets, Homer Simpson, has suffered. Where did you get the address from? Everything is very simple - [email protected] lit up in one of the series, so the attackers got food for thought.
The screenwriter of the popular cartoon has always tried to answer the fans, but when there were a lot of them, the email box simply stopped being used. After the hack, everyone got the same message. Each was promised individual access to the newest series - but there was no useful information in the archives, only malware.
