Pigeon vs Internet

the carrier pigeon was faster than the internet.

let me explain..

even though the internet became a popular thing in 1996 with over 100,000 websites, it still wasn't fast enough.

in 2010 a bunch of smart people tied a usb stick to a carrier pigeon and sent it to the build of an internet provider 50 miles away while racing against the upload of the same file thats on the usb stick.

the pigeon made it to the destination in just over an hour, while the upload took over two hours.

i dont know about you but the next time my 10 gb file take 5 mins to upload im not gonna complain.
