Blogs, Digg, Twitter — my entire day revolves around getting the news and having dialog with my friends at an instantaneous rate. I rarely ever sit down and watch TV by channel surfing, all of my favorite shows are recorded on my DVR so I can fast forward through the commercials and get on to the next segment of Iron Chef America as fast as possible. As it becomes easier and easier to achieve this, I’ve been thinking about the evolution of our need for instant gratification.
I’ve got this idea for a blog, mostly as a hobby but definitely something that I’d want to spend some time on and see become successful. The reason I haven’t gotten it together yet is because I don’t have the patience to work on it diligently and at a steady pace, piecing things together until it all falls into place. I don’t mean to come off as a brat because I don’t always get what I want, but I am very used to getting things I want immediately. With a lot of things going on in my life (work, school, family, friends) it’s hard to deal with all of the pressures and not slow down a bit to work on this one thing that I’m really interested in.
