- 90 trillion – The number of emails sent on the Internet in 2009.
- 247 billion – Average number of email messages per day.
- 1.4 billion – The number of email users worldwide.
- 100 million – New email users since the year before.
- 81% – The percentage of emails that were spam.
- 92% – Peak spam levels late in the year.
- 24% – Increase in spam since last year.
- 200 billion – The number of spam emails per day (assuming 81% are spam).
These statistics are from 2009, so we can only imagine what the numbers might be in April 2012!
I am, therefore, pleased to let you know that – if you have children in more than one division – you will receive only one Friday email from the school. Starting on April 20, Tower Weekly will provide a streamlined, one-stop location for school news and information. Many thanks to the PA leadership for their input.
This one email – with prominent links to the three current division e-newsletters (Friday Folder, Friday Footnotes, and Upper School Update) and to the Wildcat Week in Review – will also feature important all-school information that would usually be repeated in all three division e-newsletters.
Additionally, you’ll be able to find quick links to recent school news stories and updates, as well as information about the 1:1 Program as it becomes available, among other items.
I hope you enjoy the format. Happy reading!
