Word origin

The term 'email' is a shortening of 'electronic mail,' which first came into use in the 1970s when computer scientists began developing systems for sending messages between computers. The concept of electronic mail can be traced back to the early days of ARPANET, the precursor to the modern Internet, where message exchange was limited to users connected to the same network. As personal computers and the Internet became more widespread in the 1990s, the use of email exploded, evolving into a primary mode of communication for both personal and business use. The term 'emailing' emerged as a verb form, reflecting this transformation in how we communicate, making it a fundamental part of digital communication today.
