Wham Bam … Thank you, Mam
Why...
Do people see speed as the answer to all our problems? Whether it’s streaming data, messaging a mate or having a pizza delivered barely seconds after placing an order. Whatever happened to the delight of anticipation? Don’t get me wrong. Obviously, some things naturally improve with waiting time, like sex, or improve with ageing like cheese, wine and teenagers. Other things such as fashion, sixties sitcoms, and taxes don’t. This plea is not a request to return to listening to a computer’s rendition of Greensleeves for a decade, while trying to get through to your mobile provider. I just think a little wait enhances the prize. I’d far prefer to sit and smell someone preparing food in a kitchen than wait for the putt-putt-putting of a scooter with a meal the temperature of an hour-long dead corpse.
