Survey Finds Most Emails Are Never Opened

According to the Bureau of Digital Neglect, 72% of emails sent worldwide are doomed to eternal unread status, existing only as sad, unopened notifications haunting inboxes. The study found that office workers, on average, receive 121 emails per day but read fewer than 12, leaving the rest to die quietly under mountains of promotional offers and �quick follow-ups.� In Chicago, one employee admitted she hasn�t checked her inbox since 2019, preferring to rely on Slack, Post-it notes, and �manifesting productivity.� Marketing firms are reportedly devastated, with subject lines like �Re: Urgent�Please Read� proving no more effective than �Free Coupons For Socks.� Experts say unopened emails now function as a kind of digital landfill, evidence of humanity�s inability to break up with communication entirely. Still, most respondents agreed: if it�s important, someone will text. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
