We want everything and we want it now. Instant everything. Instant messages, email, fax, internet. Instant food, the faster the better. Instant education, job, wealth. Instant medical service, diagnosis, and an instant cure. Instant family. Instant travel. Instant information. Instant banking. Right or wrong, good or bad, we want it now.
Technology was supposed to make life easier, according to The Tri-City News a proliferation of new “time-saving devices” should make life easier and free up more leisure time. We don't even want to light our own matches anymore, but need a special device to do it for us, if we even use old fashioned matches any longer.
Some people can't walk down the street without a cell phone to their ear. They can't drive a block down the street without calling someone. Kids can't communicate face-to-face because their fingers are too busy text messaging. Waiting on snail mail is unheard of, email, fax, express mail, same day delivery. Now, now, now.
