"Email, you've come a long way, baby.\nIn its 40-year tenure as a form of communication, email has run its course from the domain of \u00FCber nerdy computer scientists to one of the most common ways to keep in touch, both personally and professionally. \nAlthough email as a mode of communication was around for ten years before the term \"email\" was actually coined, we now count on it in our daily lives. In fact, the use of email has become so pervasive that the Oxford English Dictionary recently added a slew of email acronyms to its official canon. \nAnd finally, just this year, the AP Stylebook, a.k.a. the holy book of all (or most) journalists, amended the spelling of e-mail to email, allowing articles such as this one to save bigtime on hyphens.\n\nSEE ALSO: The History of Social Media [INFOGRAPHIC]\nTo give you a timeline of email's progress through the decades, here's a commemorative 40th anniversary infographic from email delivery company Reachmail.\nClick image to see larger version.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
