> But it gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
It's kinda funny that you can put that after all of the big jumps in technology:
Email: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
Cellphones: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
Texting: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
Social Media: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
Online Gaming: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
Smart phones: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
And now AI: It gave rise to spam and many types of fraud.
The only spam that still manages to consistently burden me is delivered to my real mailbox by USPS!
Well, all of the big jumps of technology that revolve around communication at least. While im sure some pedant could find an nth degree link, I dont think the cotton gin or steam engine led to increased spam in any direct way.
