A waiting game(4a)

We as Americans hate to wait. All though it is tough to admit, we hate waiting. I think that technology play a huge role in our inpatients. We, as young adults, were brought up with everything at the touch of a button. We have cell phones that can give us any answer, news feed, weather report, or status update in a matter of seconds. We have fast food chains that promise your food in two minutes or less. We have services that offer repair in a matter of thirty minutes, and even that is too much time in Americans eyes. For instance, a couple of weeks ago, the internet at our house went down. Without warning it just shut off. It was ridiculous how impatient my family got without having everything at the click of a button. I called Comcast and they said they would come over and fix it within the hour. About 55 minutes went by and they hadn’t showed up. I thought my sister was actually going to kill the repair man if he didn’t show up within that hour. Luckily he showed up with about a minute to go. But that just proves my point. Because we were brought up to have all of this speed we don’t know what to do without it. We are a culture set on instant gratification. We chose not to wait for better rewards. We think that we need the Iphone 5 so everyone goes out and buys it. But if they waited 6 months, they could’ve gotten the Iphone 6. Patients is a virtue now a days. If you have the patience to wait for something in order to get a better reward, you have a better chance of surviving in this world.
