Restaurants resuming dine-in operations will need to place a priority on the safety of both guests and staff. This is
Think about how technology has changed our world. Information that once only existed in a written format is now literally at our fingertips. We settle conversational disputes with a quick check of Google. We rely on GPS to navigate a new city instead of pulling out an atlas (which, for the record, they still print).

It would be nice if Google provided a full report as to why a website ranks where it does. Unfortunately, even the most experienced SEO professionals don’t have the full answer sheet.

People have been using the # symbol for technology for years, and, before Twitter, its most visible usage was in chat servers to represent a specific topic or group.
