the impatient generation
Have you noticed how impatient our generation has become?
Just this week, I’ve been checking my emails every now and then. I was so restless while waiting for some good news. And when I finally get some, I’d wait for more. Mind you, these were just a matter of hours, for some, minutes. But still, I was restless.
Imagine what if emails were not invented. We will have to wait for Mr. Postman to deliver the letters. That could take about a week, and another week for the reply. That would be like centuries for us.
How about when you’re about to meet someone? Hasn’t been your habit to send text/SMS to your friend updating as to your whereabouts every so often?
“Traffic is heavy. I’ll be there in 30.”
“I’m almost there. I can see the building. I’ll be there in 15.”
“I’m here. Where are you?”
So unlike those days when people just agreed on a time and a place. And people show up.
Now, we want everything fast, and instant. Come to think of it, even food!
