Spam has been around for over 45 years—that’s longer than most of us have been alive. It’s outlasted floppy disks, dial-up modems, and MySpace. It’s like a cockroach that learned to type. And honestly, it’s become part of our shared experience—a weird digital badge of honor.
Next time you hit “delete” on that “Free Vacation” email, take a moment. Smile, because you’re part of a grand tradition that started with a canned pork product and a comedy sketch. Spam might be annoying, but at least it gives us something to complain about over coffee. And really, what’s more human than that?
