Ghost Riders

Neil LeVang - Ghost Riders In The Sky (1961) 4K
Classic Hits Studio

Riders of Skaith posted this video which got me thinking that maybe I had posted this same video before. I have posted Ghost Riders In The Sky before, three times in fact, once in 2010, again in 2016 and lastly in 2022, but it was the version by Sons of the Pioneers. And I also found Attack of the Ghost Riders by The Ravonettes. I guess this is a ghost rider friendly blog.

Email Versus Text Messages

Visualized: Desktop vs. Mobile Global Web Traffic Over Time

Email seems to be falling out of favor. Except for a couple of small groups, everyone I know prefers text messaging. Text messaging is fine, but I don't like looking at pictures on smartphones - the screen is just too small. I like big screens for images. So I got to wondering - does anybody even use desktop computers any more? So I asked Google "How many people use desktop computers to surf the web?" and this is what I got back:

About 39.5% to 58.3% of global web traffic and internet access involves laptops or desktop computers, as mobile devices now handle the majority of online activity.

Global Web Traffic Share

• Desktop vs. Mobile Traffic: Desktop computers account for roughly 39.5% of global web page views and traffic, while mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) make up the remaining 60.5%.

• User Reach: Roughly 58% to 61.5% of online adults report using a laptop or desktop computer to access connected services and the web.

• Engagement Time: Even though fewer total visits happen on desktops, desktop users spend more time per session and view more pages per visit compared to mobile users (roughly 60% of total time spent on websites occurs on desktop).

Now that I think about it, I suspect desktop PC use has probably not declined that much, it's just that all the people who don't have desks are getting on the web via their smartphones.
