ElectronicSpam is the use of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, social networking spam, television advertising and file sharing network spam.
The Legend of Spam: Back in 1937, the Hormel Foods company invented a canned, spiced ham that became super popular back during WWII due to the scarcity of fresh meats. In the 1960s the British TV show "Monty Python's Flying Circus" had a regular skit about a restaurant that served spam with everything, spam burgers, spam omelets, spam mashed potatoes, spam apple pie, spam spam, etc. In the skit there was a table of customers that would sing "Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, beautiful spam, wonderful spam!" until someone would make them shut up. At some point the term made the cultural jump to describe junk e-mail that repeats itself everywhere, and because of its repetitive, annoying nature. Additional Information: Introduced in 1937, the original name was Hormel Spiced Ham. Later the name of SPAM was derived from SP (from spiced) and AM (from ham). In humorous circles it was called Something Posing As Meat - or Spare Parts Animal Meat
