Instant Gratification

We live in a society of I have to have it now, I want it now, I am going to get it now. Right now!
We drive through McDonald's, and we have our food in around 2 and a half minutes. We have have 100 plus channels on our TVs, so entertainment is literally right at our fingertips. If we get bored with that, there is always PlayStation's, X-Box's or Wii's. The possibilities with these systems are almost endless. You can be a football player, an alien, play golf, tennis, bowl and get a perfect 300, or be a futuristic soldier that saves or conquers the world. If, or should I say when we get tired of that, there is always the computer, which has endless possibilities. On the computer you can read a book, learn to cook, or play a game of rook. What more could we ask for? Just more and more stuff. Purchasing something to make us feel good, look good or entertain us, has simply become second nature.
