The Times has an interesting interview with Ray Tomlinson, the inventor of e-mail.
When asked if he had any idea the havoc his invention would cause he replied...
"Absolutely not. At that time, the number of people who used e-mail was very small - maybe between 500 to 1,000. So if you were getting spam, you'd know who was sending it. You'd be able to say to them: that's not a good thing to do."
