Check out this app that lets you send messages the old-fashioned way through a pigeon, but digitally

Carrier Pidge app

If you're losing your mind over instant messengers and instant replies, it might be time to go retro... really retro. The Carrier Pidge app allows users to send messages the old-school way using a digital pigeon. The loyal bird will fly across oceans, or just a few blocks away carrying your message to its receiver.

Some users in our circles are already calling the unusually slow speed of transmission a therapeutic shift from a life of instant gratification. Our favourite feature is the real-life simulation of the 0.2 per cent chance that the pigeon meets an untimely death in commute. Guess who's taking the blame the next time we forget to reply to a text.
