Like the March Hare, we are simply trying to do too much. When I started school we were given spills (pieces of stick) to count with. We went home through the cornfields eating masses of wild blackberries while an abundance of insects swarmed and numerous varieties of birds sang. Now 65 years later quad core processors aren't fast enough to do what I want. The insects and birds have gone (except for those damn pigeons) and the corn is rationed. No wonder I am resigned to a virtual world of slowmo!

We always want upgrades and for stuff to be faster. When that does happen we will think it's slow over time and want more upgrades.

Awesome post. :-)

I hate to admit what I'm about to admit, but I think it's relevant so....

As I was reading, I found my eyes starting to skim ahead. Not because it wasn't interesting, nor because it was poorly written, nor because it was too long. So why were my eyes skimming ahead in an interesting, well-written, and arguably witty entry of the ideal length? Because we (or at least I) want the bottom line -- and I want it now. :-)

I swear I didn't used to be that way. I used to savor writing....

The logical thing for me to do now is to look for something to blame: Too much work, too many sources of new information, communication moving to bite-sized chunks (i.e. microblogging and comments on social networking sites), etc. But that would take time, so I won't. ;-)
