Sometimes I wonder what happens to the texts lost in cyberspace.
Where are the marauders and mischief-makers who scour the airspace for commuting texts? And why is no one courageous enough to catch them?
If a low-flying airplane departs Boston at 7 PM and a text departs Portland at the same time, where and when do the two meet? Considering a text message moves faster than the speed of light we must acknowledge a few other things:
Birds: do they ever get hit by text messages? Or maybe the question is not whether they are being hit, maybe it is a question of whether or not the birds are stealing our texts.
When a text is stolen, lost forever to the wireless gods, does anyone read it? IF A TEXT FALLS IN THE FOREST AND NOBODY IS AROUND, DOES ANYONE CARE???
What happens to a text on its journey from one mobile device to another? The message is more often than not the same on arrival as it was on delivery. But with the issue of late texts, more questions emerge. Since the messages are the same, it is false to assume they were raped and pillaged. Maybe the text was merely raped and released, free to go about its business. Do the birds rape text messages?
Let us consider the text’s flight through open air (we can assume air resistance is negligible.) At what age can a text fly as an unaccompanied minor? Is each message carried personally through the sky by Hermes? Or is it put into an Hermès luggage bag which is then starpped to the back of Pagasus? When considering the conundrum of the lost texts, these are all factors we must consider.
