statistics, facts (after they happened) are so crazy, lol

In 2015, the number of emails sent and received per day total over 205
billion...

in 2016 email/smtp = +8% lol

and 2017 - looks to be even more hectic.  - smtp maybe closer to 300
billion (per day) or 109 Trillion emails per year...lol

by 2020 we may be at 1000 trillion emails...

how many users does facebook have per day. lol
