How fast is too fast?

We are living in the age of fast technology.  Our computers have gone from full room operating systems to hand held smart phones.  Even though we are spoiled to the fullest by our technology, we still complain about the slightest mishap.  My phone just froze (a total of a minute to fix), and we freak out and want to get a new phone.  If general lee saw this, he'd probably have a stroke.  Yes, camera's and telegraph's were happening back then but now we can be connected to Japan within a few seconds by phone, internet, skype, etc.  In revolutionary times, it was horse and boat travel.  I feel people had more patience back then but now because we are used to having "the world at our fingertips," we expect no problems.  I realized how patience is a virtue, my laptop takes about 10minutes to load up and be ready to use..  I now have to find 10 minutes of filler time just so I don't go crazy waiting.  How will people make things faster, do you feel we are reaching the climax of our technology speed??

In response to kayle's blog

I feel that they are making a big step in trying to define their target market.. but I feel that anyone can relate to the "inner child" idea.. My dad is 62, and he still acts like me, and that's saying something cause I still act 12.  In relating a car to an inner child we can say that cars are fun to drive but blacks, whites, asians, etc can all think that driving is fun.  If they want to better target the black women market they should relate to something that they have as one not that all of us have as a human race..

what do you think would be a better way to target this group?
