History of The Email
What is an Email? Who Invented the Email? Why is Email popular?
According to Merriam Dictionary,
Emails are “messages that are sent electronically from one computer to another.”
Ray Tomlinson worked as a computer engineer at Bolt Beranek and Newman (BNN). In 1968, BNN company was hired by the United States Defense Department to build the first internet. Then in 1971, Tomlinson invented the internet based email and also chose the @ symbol to tell which user was "at" what computer.
The very first email ever sent was between two computer that were sitting right next to each other. The message in the first email sent was something most people would not expect. It was “QWERTYUIOP”. This may appear like letters jumbled together, however it is the first row of letters on the keyboard. Don't believe me, look at the keyboard on your computer.
Ray Tomlinson is quoted as saying he invented email,"Mostly because it seemed like a neat idea." No one was asking for email.
After Tomlinson invention, email took the world by storm. These are the main reasons why people all around the world are using email to keep in touch:

Demonic Possession:
Demonic possession has been set in our beliefs since the beginning of civilization. Throughout each religion, different religious figures have been said to have rid people of evil spirits or what some believed to be demons. After Nathan wakes up on the side of the road, he is convinced A is the devil or possibly working for the devil. In the bible it states; "Jesus preached
and cast out devils,” Mark 1:39. Ever since the beginning, all
forms of sickness, both physical and psychological were attributed to
possession of spirits. People relied on religion to form an exorcism. Exorcisms were a way of taking out or extracting the evil spirits from the body, these were done with: the use of prayers, commands, fumigation, holy water, hellebore, rue, salt and
roses. Even to this day, people believe or fear the idea of demonic possession. The idea of something or someone taking over our body freaks us out. Still to this day, horror films play with this idea.
