In today’s reading Grown Up Digital
by Don Tapscott there was a section where Tapscott talked about speed and how
today’s generation is all about speed. Some examples he gives was with video
games the player will receive instant feedback and how in a google search someone
receives thousands of search results with mili-seconds of the search. It is due
to this life style that Tapscott states that we assume everyone else will
respond quickly back to us when messaging each other.
Personally
I would have to agree with Tapscott argument because my generation and I are
all about the speed. For example when we are on the internet we want the
fastest internet we can afford so that way we are almost always instantly
connected to our friends or anyone. Also when it comes to new technology we
want the fasted piece of technology that there is on the market; an example of
this would be with computer. Computer hardware and drives are constantly
improving by getting faster and smaller, before all computers had a hard drive
which was the way the computer could pass information around, now the new type
of drive is a Solid State Drive (SSD) in comparison with a normal hard drive
the SSD is so much faster and it is the drive that most computers are starting
to always come with.
