It’s a cliché to say that we live in a speeded-up world. IT systems and internet connections are marketed for their speed.  We tap our fingers impatiently on the desk if the PC is running slowly or we’re forced to use an older model. Used to a state of the art service station, we fidget at the traffic lights or fret if we have to fill up at an older slower pump. And the difference will likely be only a few minutes.
