• Even though the telegraph speed was fast to them in 1945, the internet speed is way faster. The question is, why people want everything to be faster? To save more time and get things done faster?
• Everything was going on after the invention of telegraph. and everything is still going on right now.
• We have the personal publishing ability now, which makes information spread much easier.
• We have even more to expect from technology now, we wish to have advanced-technologies, i.e, self0learning computers.
• information overload is still happening and still making anxieties.
• We are stepping into a “me-me-me world”, with personal blogs, people share their daily life things online and personal issues, i.e, someone’s dog, someone found a new Thai restaurant…,etc.
• We are both undershot customers ( when we need some certain products which is not there.) and overshot customer ( when what we have is too much for us. )
