What If You Peroxided A Herpes

Curiosity

Both Republic the Corriere della Sera reported the news on their sites in South Africa a passenger pigeon has been shown fastest broadband connection available on place: in just over an hour he delivered to the recipient a memory card containing data via the Internet at the same time were transm ssi only in small part. The bird, trained for the occasion, he covered the distance of 70 km between a user and another to demonstrate its ability to be able to exchange information between the two much faster than the Web connection they could use instead. The idea came from a joke a joke African employee of a company that complained about the slowness of the connection, but the proof of the animal made headlines and was used to demonstrate the 'inadequacy of connection internet in the area. It is hardly news that there are parts of the world's hyper-digitized, and other areas where hand could not be reached even the minimum level of computerization, but extreme cases such as this lead once again to reflect the importance that technology now has become in our lives and work to not get back and be out of the system. Now I wonder: maybe a problem in South Africa as this can still be marginal, or certainly not at the top of the list of concerns that poverty and social situation in many areas, but here? Italy pursues other countries, frequently the last places in an attempt to adapt to using new tools that flourish in the market from day to day, but in fact even here there are still areas that are not even reached dall'adsl, and we did not in Africa. Looking in my small, a village in the outskirts of Bologna, for even as little else, I note the difference in situation between my house, near the center, and home of some friends of my own city moved slightly in the country. I come studded with phone calls in which I will offer any new effort to improve my connection, they come to me to be able to use some of my adsl because in their area can still only have the 56k and between 'more often with various problems. In practice, although living up to 2km away from me, are a completely different internet connection and outdated, so inappropriate that often prefer to give up the idea of \u200b\u200busing the web for their research to avoid having to fight with the excessive slowness of the their connection, this is because the DSL stops at a few houses away from them (especially that of the mayor, what a coincidence ...). Some people, to remedy the problem, an adjustment with the laptop running between the houses of others in an attempt to find and use the wi fi someone else's situation reminds me a bit of a pigeon as an alternative to the poor means that you have. Against I wonder about all this: first to pursue a new tool and then makes available to only a few, would it not be the case balance the situation by putting the first affordable for anyone at least means that should be the basis of ?
