An observation on modern life shows a changed attitude in dealing with the way people perceive communication. Some (seniors in particular) are used to, and enjoy talking at length, explaining things in detail, taking their time in whatever they do. Such behavior is unconceivable to others (juniors in particular), whose motto seems to be "hurry up". No long conversations, just quick text messages; no extended videos, just seconds-long clips; characters in movies speak fast, credits and written words flash on screen like lightenings...'Hurry up' is the modern watchword. In conclusion, patience (the capacity to accept or tolerate delay) has become obsolete - while haste (excessive speed or urgency of movement or action) well reflects a world that is moving "faster and faster" towards a future that will surely be full of additional, surprising changes.
