Every time something new is invented, there are people trying to make a quick buck. In the case of email, the problem is spam, which is typically defined as unwanted messages. It is used for various purposes, such as to market products and services or to trick people into giving out their personal data.
The first spam email was sent in 1978 by Gary Thuerk as an advertisement for his company. The first use of the term “spam” appeared in 1993, when a person accidentally posted 200 messages to a group of people. Members of the group joked about the accident, and someone referred to the messages as spam. The usage of the word spam was inspired by a comic sketch made by Monty Python. In the sketch, Vikings repeatedly shouted the word Spam, which referred to the famous canned meat. The sound muted any other conversation. Eventually, the term came to represent annoying messages that drown out all the others.
