Description
Email, the system invented in 1978 by Shiva Ayyadurai, while a 14-year-old boy, to enable collaboration and communication among office workers at a small medical college in Newark, NJ, has now become the center of many controversies. For their 125th Anniversary issue, The Wall Street Journal commissioned Dr. Shiva as email’s inventor to write a brief essay entitled The Future of Email. That article shared what email really is and where email is heading. More recently, The New York Times interviewed him to comment on Hillary Clinton’s use of personal email server to manage classified U.S. government communications. In that article, Dr. Shiva shared that the use of a personal email server was extraordinary, wrong and clearly a well-planned strategy by Ms. Clinton to deny the American public’s rightful access to communications that were government property. This book is a much-needed expansion of those thoughts and comments to provide you important insights to where email is going and why you as citizens must take action to protect this important medium, which has been subverted by vested interests. Written by the world’s leading expert on this subject with a historical and political perspective, The Future of Email will enable you to realize that if we do not act, our freedom, which has already been compromised, will suffer even more greatly, in a future where Have’s and Have Not’s will be defined by the level of security they have to their email communications.
