Some of you might have noticed how instant gratification has become more and more of a thing in the past 10 years or so. A lot of it can be attributed to how fast information is shared nowadays and due to social networks.

On one hand, it's perfectly understandable and fine that technology has evolved and we can get some things like news faster than ever, but on the other hand, instant gratification is making us less patient and more lazy as a society overall, I feel. Not everything yet comes to you in like a couple of minutes.

Would you say we're heading into a point where our society is becoming so spoiled and used to taking instant gratification for granted that we'll just become lazy slobs in a few decades and no longer find motivation to go the extra mile to do something that requires a bit of more work and patience?
