emailFor a thorough history and explanation see the Wikipedia article. Electronic mail, or email or e-mail is a way to communicate between computers on the Internet. Emails can travel almost instantly anywhere in the world, although your email won't be read by the person you've sent it to until, and unless that person sees it and reads it. E-mails can also be sent directly by a computer, or directly to a computer. A common example of the first case is when signing up for a newsletter or membership on a website the website will often send an email to you asking for confirmation of your request. |
