Everything is a matter of perception. And it is true that the perception of the “fast Internet we cannot live without” is part of our modern culture. However it takes a small pigeon to see more clearly what your blind eyes cannot.

It is true. In many occasions have pigeons won the locan Broadband Internet connection in data transfer rate. [1, 2, 3] The pigeons carried a USB stick with the data to send and was let loose to fly, while at the same time the same data was sent via the Internet to the same destination.

Surely the data transfer rates are much higher now.

But so is the data capacity of the USB sticks pigeons carry…

Get rid of your wrong axioms. Stop believing dogmatically in technology.

See clearly in the sky. And you might see a USB flying…

As a wise man once said, “never underestimate the bandwidth of a truck loaded with thousands of DVDs”…
