Sluggish Data Transport Is Faster Than ADSL |
|
|
"We describe an experiment in which a Giant African Snail, acting as
a data transfer agent, exceeded all known “lastmile” communications
technologies in terms of bit-per-second performance, adding to the
many paradoxes of broadband communications. We discuss the unique
motivational and guidance systems necessary to facilitate snail-based
data transport, and observe with satisfaction that in a society that
worships the fittest, fastest, and furtherest, the meek and the slow
can sometimes outperform all known competitors, giving rise to the
new and exciting field of sluggish data networks."
