📬You know, that first examples of email can be found on computers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in a program called “MAILBOX”, all the way back in 𝟭𝟵𝟲𝟱?
⠀
🔷Users of MIT computers could leave messages with this program on computers at the university for other users, who would see the messages the next time they logged on to the computer.
⠀
🔷 The system was quite effective, but only if the people wishing to communicate with each other were regularly using the same computer.
⠀
🔷 In 1969, the US Department of Defense implemented ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), a network connecting numerous computers across the department for the purpose of communication within the organisation.
