Across decades, communication platforms have come and gone (we miss you Friendster, ICQ, BBS). But email? It’s still here—quietly evolving alongside us. Here’s how one of the internet’s most personal inventions survived everything we threw at it: 𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟭: 𝗔 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗼 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 Ray Tomlinson wasn’t trying to invent email. He just wanted a way to send a message from one computer to another over ARPANET. To separate user from host, he picked the unassuming @ symbol…mostly because it “made sense.” That decision came to define digital identity. 𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟲: 𝗔 𝗥𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗴 👑 Queen Elizabeth II sent one of the first emails over ARPANET. It was a symbolic shift—email wasn’t just for nerds anymore. 📡 Username: HME2 𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟴: 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗺 🚫 Gary Thuerk sent the first unsolicited mass email. People were furious. But it generated $13 million in sales. Somewhere, a marketing exec whispered: “What if we did this… 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘥𝘢𝘺?” 𝟭𝟵𝟴𝟮: 𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗜𝘁𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 In the early days, email was chaos—messages didn’t always arrive, systems couldn’t talk to each other. Then came SMTP: the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. It quietly gave email a universal backbone. It’s a protocol, but also a philosophy: that tools should be open-ended, composable, and shaped by the people who use them. 𝟭𝟵𝟴𝟵–𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟯: 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗹 📀 America Online (AOL) made email part of everyday life. “You’ve Got Mail” wasn’t just a notification—it was a feeling. We endured CD-ROMs, dial-up tones, and long waits for connection. Email became a ritual of hope and human contact. 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟲: 𝗛𝗼𝘁𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗚𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗹 🌐 Hotmail made email free, browser-based, and globally accessible. Every message ended with: “Get your free email at Hotmail.” It spread fast—8.5 million users in a year. Microsoft bought it for $400M in 1997. Email became ubiquitous. 𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟰: 𝗚𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗹’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 📅 1GB of free storage? Searchable inbox? People thought it was a prank. Gmail made email clean, fast, massive, and organized. Storage wasn’t just a feature—it was the freedom to use email as a memory bank. 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟬-𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁 🤔 Slack. DMs. Social. Every few years, someone declared email dead. But it didn’t die. 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱: ? We’ve had 50+ years of email. It’s faster, more aesthetic, has a few band-aids—but it’s fundamentally unchanged since the 70s. Maybe it’s time to ask: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘧 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳?
