The Desire for Instant
Gratification is Wreaking
Havoc on SocietyHas society become too weak willed? If you listen to the
naysayers then everything is doom and gloom.
Nothing is as
good as in their day and everyone is too soft.
They look at
technological developments like Damon braces, products
designed to make life easier, and they decide that there is no
trouble in life anymore.
Moulded by rationing and war they
have a real appreciation for all the basics of life but is there
any truth in their grim warnings?
Looking at recent sociological and anthropological studies, it’s
certainly possible.
In recent years, there has a steady
development of what’s known as the instant gratification
culture.
The idea is we’re adapting to the ever improving
speed of the internet and technological advances and trying to
impose the same standards on everyday life.
We want
everything now, now, now, and if we have to wait we often
won’t bother.
