Episode 40: 300 Years to Email Enron

The history of email is over 300 years in the making . . . and every step is fascinating, especially the Enron Corpus. Without the story of the typewriter, Emilie Baudot, Alan Turing, Donald Murray, and the U.S. Air Force, there likely wouldn't be email today. This story covers Ray Tomlinson, Western Union, H.G. Wells, Remington, John Pratt, Christopher Sholes, Tom Hanks, and Kenneth Lay.
