There are days when I get absolutely swamped with email -- my work and personal inboxes are frequently filled to bursting -- and I’m not alone in struggling with the never ending deluge of demanding messages.
Unroll.me, a service which helps users keep their inboxes under control, has put together a Halloween-themed infographic detailing some of the most frightening facts about email. Did you know, for example, that the average person in the US, spends four hours a day reading, composing and replying to messages?
Other scary facts covered include the scale of inbox overload -- some 122,500,453,020 emails are sent every hour globally. That’s every hour, not every day.
84 percent of email traffic in 2013 alone was spam, and 16 million phishing emails are sent each day.
Check out the full infographic below.
