How fast is too fast?

Times today are significantly different then they were just a few years ago. The
internet since its nascence has been growing, expanding, and involving. Our
generation is one of the first to have almost unlimited access to the world wide
web. I believe that the advance of mobile technology is significant to how well
informed our generation is. From my blackberry I can check and send emails, visit
websites, view videos, even write this blog post. If we don't know the answer to
something, we google it. Instant answer, instant gratification.
10 years ago the world was a different place. Wi-fi was not available in most places
and 3G networks were unthought of. Where we see huge differences between then and
now is the speed and depth of information available. Nobody goes to libraries and
rifles through old volumes anymore, you use jstor or another online service. Huge
deals can be conducted between corporations in a matter of minutes, instead of days.

The world is moving at a much faster pace then it used to and our generation has
learned to become accustomed to this. We read faster, talk faster and move faster
then ever before, and we will continue to as long as the technological world follows
this trend.
