Happy birthday to email

The Google Blog has a post about the first email, or at least what is arguably the first network email with an address with the ubiquitous @ symbol. Sent way back in October 1971. I’m just a smidge older than email, apparently, though I don’t think I actually found out about email until I was in my late teens or early twenties.

I wonder how old spam is?
