The new trend driving users crazy: returning to sending messages with pigeons
In today's technological world, where we are accustomed to receiving WhatsApp messages instantly, a surprising and intriguing trend has emerged. Hundreds of thousands of users around the world have decided to abandon fast-paced apps and switch to an ancient and unique method: sending messages via pigeons.
The new service offers an experience completely different from what we have known. The pigeons fly at a speed of 110 miles per hour, and users can track their pigeon's flight path in real-time via a live map in the app. It is a process that takes about 22 hours for the message to reach its destination, a very long time compared to a standard SMS message.
The app also includes advanced options, such as purchasing replacement birds within the system in case the pigeon fails to complete the mission. Despite the significant time required to transmit the information, it seems that users are enjoying the unique experience and the disconnection from the excessive speed of social media.
The phenomenon raises many questions about our communication habits. While most of us seek 24/7 availability, it seems there is a large group of people who are actually looking for a slow and nostalgic way to communicate with their surroundings, even if it means waiting a full day for a message.
