Time waits for no man, they say, but will man wait for time? “If we assume that networks will continue to get faster,” cyber analyst
Nicholas Carr writes in response to Edge's 2013 inquiry, “we can also conclude that we'll become more and more impatient,
more and more intolerant of even microseconds of delay.” Accordingly, Carr continues “we'll be less likely to experience anything
that requires us to wait, that doesn't provide us with instant
gratification.” In short, grown men shall act as peevish toddlers throwing temper tantrums when their appetites are not sated immediately.
