10 Internet Statistics Every Marketer Should Know in 2021 ...


We started using email in 1992 so it has been quite a while for us.  


The other day, I looked up programs on Acorn that are popular and "South Westerlies" was in the list.  We looked up a little summary and thought we would give it a try.  A native of an Irish village is sent to persuade it to accept foreign plans to build a wind farm there.  She happens to be shapely and the mother of a strapping young man in his 20's.  She is trying to be low-key, almost unrecognized, but she runs into people who knew her when.  


A couple of difficulties arise from the internet being down.  This is not the first time a story has depended on network failure to explain why we really don't have reservations or other snafus.  A computer and word processing or spreadsheet data manipulation can be heavenly.  Even smartphones are good when they work and they usually do.  However, it is quite possible that a summer storm or a bad guy attack or a flood or an earthquake or a fire can intercept an important message.  Even just an unexpected delay in message transmission and arrival can change situations very much.  


If you understand English and I don't have my mouth full, I can speak to you in a face to face meeting and with high probability, you will receive and understand.  That high reliability can lure us humans into thinking our smoke signals, telegrams and text messages are received in a timely way and comprehended.  Maybe you remember the TV show "As Time Goes By" where the hero and the heroine wrote to each other but the letters failed to reach their intended recipients because of warfare.  For years, each of them thought the other simply didn't want to be friends.  Don't worry: things worked out in the end before too long.
