E-mail on wheels:
- You write an e-mail
- Send it – it stays in the outgoing mailbox
- A motorbike passes by near your computer carrying a laptop on his rear: both computers “speak” one to each other and your mail is transferred wirelessly to his laptop
- The biker goes round and round delivering the mails from his laptop to other computers and gathering more outgoing mails from these other computers
- Start the loop n-times
- At the end of the day the motorbiker reaches the big city were long distance mails (!) reach out for the Net and its furthest mailboxes and out-of-the-motorbike-network mails enter his inbox
Heartly thanks César for pointing this to me :)
