About Gmail & How to Sign in to Gmail Account using Mobile Phone?
Internet, as it is known, is a worldwide system of computer networks interconnected through IP addresses. The internet has impacted all aspects of our lives, from trade and commerce to information, but above all communication. Emails, as do other communication channels, depend on networks connected via the internet.
Email communication aids sending and receiving messages within a short period, to recipients located anywhere across the world. Although developed in the late 1960s, the term email did not get much recognition until the 1970s, when Ray Tomlinson first developed the @ sign to link username with the servers.
