Start those drafts, check your spam folder, and get ready to hit send - it's National Email Week starting on June 10! This week-long event honors one of the most influential advancements in modern communication, the email. Can you believe it's been over 50 years since the first email was sent? In that time, email has revolutionized how we connect with one another, changing not just personal communication but also business transactions, networking, and even the way we receive our news. It's a week to appreciate this technological marvel, brush up on your email etiquette, and maybe even reconnect with some long lost e-pals. So join in the celebration, and remember, no spamming - it's all about meaningful connections!
