Yes, email is indeed older than the World Wide Web (WWW).
While many people associate email with the rise of personal computers and the Internet in the mid-1990s, its origins are much earlier. Early forms of email existed on closed networks as far back as the 1960s, and the term "email" itself was coined in 1982. This is significantly before the World Wide Web, which was invented in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee.
| Technology | Approximate Origin |
|---|---|
| 1960s (early forms) | |
| World Wide Web (WWW) | 1989 |
In summary, email predates the World Wide Web by a significant margin.
