Hi 

 

Did you have problems seeing your gmail emails today?

 

I thought it was just me and I must admit I did panic a little

 

I was just getting an “error 500” message from Google which means nothing to me

 

My partner’s account was the same

 

I couldn’t get onto Youtube ……

 

But Google itself seemed ok and when I searched I found a lot of people were having the same problem.

 

And just as I was reading a few online news items about this and discovering it was happening all over the world……

 

My email came back!

 

No doubt by the time you read this all will have become clear

 

But it just goes to show you how much we now rely on the internet and all the services connected to it.

 

But bear in mind, when these at first scary things happen - Google FFS! - there are always alternatives and it’s wise to not to keep all your eggs in one basket

 

That’s definitely case with work and business these days too

 

The Internet may have the odd glitch for time to time but It’s never going to break - unlike the old world economy which does - every 10 or 20 years.

 

 

Cheers!
