Have you ever send the right text to the wrong person? In simpler words, the question is about, “have you ever dropped the right message in a wrong chatbox?” Well, this is too embarrassing, the worse is when you text the message maybe because of your emotional breakdown at that particular time and you confess your feelings to that person. It does feel good at that point, but later it is all about regret, guilt, and overthinks.  


A BLESSING 

Thanks to the feature of unsend the message or deleting the text for everyone option in the modern apps. This made me realize that we don't have the option of unsend the message on emails. I was really curious to know about the deep secrets and unknown mysteries of the emails.


THE INVENTOR 

The first person to use the email was computer engineer Ray Tomlinson. In 1971, he tested the probability of success and failure of this e-communication.  The first word to be ever sent through this form of communication was QWERTYUIOP. The computer engineer sends the same message to himself from one computer to another computer.  Though the message traveled through the ARPANET, which was a network precursor to the internet facility. 


THE JOURNEY ISN’T EASY 

  • Tomlinson was experimenting with the two programs known as SNDMSG and READMAIL, its' function was to enable the user to leave a message on the same machine.

  • Taking his observation and conclusion of the above two programs, he created a third program known as CYPNET, which made it possible for a user to send and receive files between machines or computers. 

  • The combined program was the reason behind the success of the email. The computer engineer; Tomlinson is also lauded for the invention of the symbol '@', which helps in searching various email addresses.

  • With improvements in the protocols, a new program named SMTP made it possible to send the message to various email addresses at the same time. Simply, the local server copies the message to each recipient.

WHERE IS THE NETWORK?

It was crucial and as well as a prerequisite to have a good internet connection for email exchange between computers. 

  • BBN (Bolt Beranek and Newman) was the first company that enabled users to send emails. The company was further hired by the US Defense Department, which made the ARPANET.ARPANET is the raw form of what now Is known as the internet.

  • To facilitate the successful exchange of emails between remote areas and other sources. The telecommunications links made a platform that made it accessible to deliver a message globally. Dialup modems or leased lines are examples.


THE SUCCESS 

During the 1980s the facility of email made it cheaper for people to communicate in comparison to the cost they pay communicating via phone.  Since then the growth and evolution of email can be seen. With the World Wide Web, friendly web interfaces facility was provided by email to platforms such as Hotmail, Yahoo 

CONCLUSION

Emails are mainly used as a formal means of communication, as it helps in keeping the evidence of the message send the sender.

The Smallest Computer In The World

          The Smallest Computer In The World The Smallest Computer in the World Fits On a Grain of Rice. Researchers at the University of Michigan just created the world's smallest computer (again). After all, it's unclear if the IBM computer even counts as an actual microcomputer. The IBM device lost all its programming and data as soon as it turns off, unlike the Michigan Micro Mote, which retained its programming even when it wasn’t externally powered. “It’s more of a matter of opinion whether they have the minimum functionality required,” said David Blaauw, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at University of Michigan who helped develop the University of Michigan's newest tiny device. If the IBM machine constituted a computer, then University of Michigan would work to gain back their title: their latest micro device measures 0.3mm per side (1/10th the size of IBM’s computer), and is smaller than a grain of rice. The de...

Design Thinking - A Mindset

Thinking generally indicates the way we carry out thoughts in our minds. It is the internal stimuli that trigger our mind and we are bound to set up an image of the thoughts which we carry from our inner instincts. Each of us first perceives the thoughts before it is brought into action. Thus our brain is an active part of the human body which generates those thoughts into action. Keeping in mind the process of thinking, thinking is divided as Positive thinking I t means thinking in the right direction and at the right time. Thinking about some positive aspects or views which will tempt us to arrive at concrete decisions. Those persons who always look at positive aspects of life they are called optimistic people. They are generally highly motivated, their innermost perseverance enhances the value of the goal for you and intensifies your motivation level.  Negative thinking It refers to those people who look at the darker aspects of life. They are called pessimistic people. They are...

  Specialties of the month of May The month of May signifies so many different things to people that it is hard, to sum up, its importance in a single thought. While May is considered a time of new harvest and celebrations for farmers across the country, it also ushers in the dreaded Indian summers, which in turn is symbolized by vacations for children and family trips to the hills for a lot of Indian families.  However, the importance of May runs much deeper than just the basic symbolic inferences to which we as a society often restrict ourselves to. It also has a significant place of honor within religious and spiritual connotations, cultural diversity and societal practices. Here are some of the unique things which make May, the most mystical of all months: Despite a majority of months being named after Greek Gods and even the occasional Roman king, May is named after Maia. She is the Greek Goddess of fertility and this is signified by May being the month of harvest for far...
