Broadband is a tool, which replaces a lesser tool, namely dial-up. Until recently, I was satisfied with dial-up and the lower speed of my internet browsing. I liked the support people at my ISP. But now on broadband, my browsing takes flight! Of course servers at websites do go down ocasionally, so patience is still necessary, but not just in computing. We seem to have entered an age utterly lacking in discipline. The yokels clammering for their websites to load already, are also the drivers in traffic who blow through stopsigns, cut off cars and jockey down the highway like a slolum course.
The world is an imperfect place, and those proceeding through it like mindless juggernauts would benefit the world by shutting up and trying their websites a little later.
