PROJECT: RESEARCHING THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNET
The Internet has had a profound effect on how we conduct business and our personal lives. Understanding a bit about its history is an important step to understanding how it changed the lives of people everywhere.

Using the Internet, books, and interviews with subject matter experts (with permission from your teacher), research one of the technological changes that enabled the Internet to exist as it does today. This may be something like TCP/IP, the World Wide Web, or how e-mail works. Look at what led to the change (research, social or business issues, etc.) and how that technology has advanced since it was invented.
Write a research paper of at least 2, 000 words discussing this technology. Make sure to address the technology’s development, history, and how it impacts the Internet and users today. Write in narrative prose, and include a small number of bullet points if it will help illustrate a concept. It is not necessary to use footnotes or endnotes, but make sure to cite all your sources at the end of the paper. Use at least five different sources.

Submission Requirements
Use standard English and write full phrases or sentences. Do not use texting abbreviations or other shortcuts.
Make any tables, charts, or screen shots neat and well organized.
Make the information easy to understand.

E-mail, short for “electronic mail” is one of most widely used forms of digital communication. It can be used from nearly any device, and unlike paper mail, it is delivered nearly instantly. E-mail is used in all strata of society, and has endless possibilities for personal and professional uses.

It can be used to send messages, links, images and files, essentially everyone on the planet who uses computers will use e-mail. It powers business and connects families together across continents, and the best part of all is that it is essentially free. People use e-mail on personal computers, mobile phones, tablets, even on ‘smart’ televisions!

Every e-mail address has an inbox. This is where new messages are deposited. An e-mail message has a status called “unread” which disappears after the e-mail has been opened. A typical e-mail inbox will also have a ‘Sent’ folder for viewing messages that you have sent in the past. It also will have an ‘Outgoing’ folder, where messages stay until they have been fully transmitted. It is also common to have a ‘Drafts’ folder for messages that were started but never sent, and a ‘Spam’ folder, where unwanted marketing messages will usually be directed. You can of course setup your own folders and sort your e-mails however you like .
