we want what we want and we want it now

[psyc_o_history]

Our generation is all about instant gratification, we want what we want and we want it now! Many think that this is due to the technology that we have in our century. You can find almost anythign you want on the internet which is only a click away. Many think that this is a good thing getting what we want when we want it, but what is it really doing to our society. If people are use to getting things quikly then what happens when they don't. Kids end up giving up on things because it takes to long. A good example of this would be that the percent of people dropping out of school, which is higher then ever before. In this article in times magazine, which was written in April almost a year ago, the percent of kids dropping out of school was one in three. Now the statistics show that 50% of children won't graduate from highschool.
