Enough Instant Gratification
A friend responded to my question about whether she has a chat application saying that “email is enough instant gratification”.
Does such a thing actually exist? In this world of hand held gadgets and high speed connectivity, isn’t instant gratification one of the ultimate goals? I know that I like to know things as quickly as possible, whether it’s how a girl feels about me or what happened in the news or what a friend has to say – why wait when you don’t have to?
Of course when I wrote my friend back and told her that I thought stringing the words “enough” “instant” “gratification” together in that order was illegal – she immediately thought I was talking about masturbation. Fair enough, but my point still holds true, we have all these gadgets and applications, why shrug them away in favor of even slightly slower mechanisms?
