Wow, technology there must be useless. New Zealand has some of the slowest broadband internet in the world, but at least our text messages get recieved within 5 minutes of sending time. If they don't it's pretty weird.

It's a factor of probability though. I heard on the radio a while ago a representative of one of the major mobile companies in Australia stating that 90% of text messages arrive within an hour. That sounds good but it also implies that one in ten takes longer than an hour, up to a day in some cases.

My Mum told me to have my phone on in lessons last month, so that she could text me to let me know who my new born cousin was.

But why did you need to know immediately? What difference would it have made to your life if you'd found out an hour later, in recess? What could you have done in the middle of class if things were good or not so good?
