NYC tech wiz creates program to track e-mails like parcels

A computer programmer from New York City has developed software that can track e-mails bouncing from server to server at lightning speed to reach the recipient.

Email Miles designer Jonah Brucker-Cohen, 39, told the New York Post that the distance of e-mails is taken for granted and he wants people to be able to relate to them.

The program detects the servers by their geolocation and also calculates the distance traveled, and the cities, countries and continents where the message pit-stops before reaching its destination.
