now generation

While reading Professor Strate’s chapter about time and cyberspace I thought it was very clever how he made the comparison between the clock and the computer. The clock gives the information of time in a fast and accurate way, the same way a computer gives information of other subjects in a fast and accurate way.  Also I agree with both Professor Strate and Michael Raganella when they talk about the part of the chapter when Strate says  "When sitting at a computer terminal, delays of a few seconds seem interminable and five minutes an eternity." This delay does not only affect life through a computer but also real life as well. I believe it has turned and fueled our generation to what is known as the "now" generation. This means that we need instant gratification. Right here right now, but is this a good or bad thing?
