Is The Instant Gratification of the Internet Making Americans Impatient?

[Dan Dunlop]

Is the instant gratification of the Internet affecting society in a negative manner? Is it making people more impatient? That's the subject of a new infographic from OnlineGraduatePrograms.com. After seeing my recent posts on the use of infographics in healthcare, the group that created this infographic contacted me, asking if I would be interested in sharing it on my blog. After reviewing their work, I would argue that we are not becoming impatient, rather, we seek out conveniences and efficiencies. One could also argue that there is a new normal when it comes to accessing information. Look at the graphic below and let me know how you interpret the data.
