Abstract:
Email existed before the Internet was invented, and grew with the Internet over six orders of magnitude. Email has gone from serving a small community of highly technical colleagues to being ubiquitous, even for people who are not technically adept. It has changed from a tiny, no-profit service to a billion dollar business.
But email has not gone without growing pains. Spam, viruses, and phishing are just two examples of malware that didn’t even exist when email was born. Email has changed both business and social lives in ways both good and bad. Some of those pressures have pushed users from email to Instant Messaging and Social Networking. Today the research and development of email has focused on control, either “on the wire” (anti-spam, data loss prevention, etc.) or directly for the user (such as mobile access or managing information overload).
This talk covers the history of email and reviews where we are today, including current technologies such as email authentication (DKIM and SenderID) and reputation. It concludes with some personal speculation about how email will continue to grow both short- and long-term.
