E-Mail, a history

considering the amazing response to the above post,somwhere around 123,563,498 clicks(multiplied by zero ,of course!),decided to expand the topics from duct-tape to everything.......




"E-Mail is a medium,like all other mediums."
-my communication skills teacher.

Invented in the late earlies by Charles Darwin while watching a spitball match between India and Pakistan, Darwin created it to counter his frustration with what most people often refer to as "f-e-maile".
Later, Bill Gates(if u don't know ,he is Steve Job's secret lover..and if u don't know Steve Jobs,your soul shall burn in hell) decided to make it an integral part of his micro-softies(a bunch of OS made to make you cry over your apparently slow hardware) when he too found that f-e-mailes weren't an integral part of him and a group of similar nerds he hanged around with,but thats another his-tory.E-mail is the only source of communication in most countries and in places like zambia,even food is sent over mail,though the russian communists still depend on morse code and vodka and the chinese simply decide to kill their hungry,that seems to solve their population problem.Recently, some "LADEN" guy sent romantic videos to some BUSH deep down in texas, initiating a first of its kind on the e-mail front,although there have been romours that the porn industry was extremely miffed on their not being involved in the whole video affair.Also,supporting the industry's cause,the Saudi govt warned that the US embassy there could face closure if the industry's need wasn't met,along with a possible oil price hike no matter what stand the US took..E-mail,some believe lead to the accident(read suicide) or murder,who cares; of lady Diana , because it was some great grand mother of lady Diana within the spencer family,who happened to be a Queen, who supported and familiarised the concept of "POST "(post too is a medium where one sticks out his tongue to stick an envelope already smeared with ink,thus making your tongue regret it was yours..).It plays a prominent role in scriptures too.Sita sent Hanuman(since Rama was out of coverage area) a SOS e-mail from her strawberry(an ancestor of blackberry with an additional functionality,you could eat it too) when he was hovering over Lanka in his private jet ,leading to the extra episodes in Ramayana directed by Ramanand Sagar, if e-mail hadnt been there,maybe Ekta kapoor would have directed it as without the mail,a 1000 more episodes could have been made.Very few people now-a-days are ignorant of the E-mail,like GOD and the DEVIL,but that must be more due to bandwidth issues than anything else.Even the Pope's got one(or maybe 2).Also e-mail has an inbult option of Carbon-Copy ; but becuase carbon copies tend to be black and white, some believe it to be an extremely offensive racist move and the U.N were planning to sue Nelson Mandela for bringing up the topic.
