This is kind of an ironic post as I'm writing it because I lost a post I was in the middle of writing!
Everything is so fast paced now - technology has moved on in such a way that there's no patience left in this world. The development of the smart phone means that we no longer have to wait until one task is complete before we start another. For people like me this can be a good thing - I frequently flit between tasks in my day to day life (much to BFS's despair) feed a baby, paint a wall, bake some cakes, do some accounts etc. however when you use a device which allows you to do this 90% of the time you start to take it for granted that everything works this way. When you do actually undertake a task within the 10% parameter that doesn't allow multitasking (ie write a blog post on a phone app instead of the pc) it's pretty stupid to 'jump' to another application to respond to a message which has just popped onto your screen. The result is that you lose the thoughts which took a bit of effort to pen and you get so frustrated you can't be bothered trying to recreate the humorous approach you strived for in the first place!
Hence this post instead. Do you remember the days when you actually had to finish a text message and send it, and wait to make sure it had actually sent before you dared press any other button on your phone (and god forbid a call came in whilst you were waiting for this to happen!)
I almost can't....that's how quickly we take things for granted...and that is a scary thought.
