Our internet-inspired impatience is only getting worse
(sticK - 19 April 2012 ) There’s a fair number of (mostly ignored) requests to link and/or ‘write about us’ emails received by sticK.
However Tony Shin tweaked an interest in the subject line, ‘A quick question about Instant Gratification’.
He in turn linked through to the following link (see here), an extremely informative graphic about ‘Instant America’.
Without giving the eight pages away, the underlying message of the effect of the internet’s instant gratification is that the desire for speedy information has made Americans (but read all of us) impatient for just about everything.
