Ex: The internet gives us quick results, therefore our patience to search for other reliable sources decreases]]> 2021-02-16 14:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207172858 TAG farl20803 https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207180939 Aldous Huxley's Brave New World

Moreover, in her article, Price-Mitchell agrees that technology is causing people to be more impatient, and I agree based on my own experience with technology in the twenty-first century.

The clap on the shoulder made him start, look up. It was that brute Henry Foster. 'What you need is a gramme of soma.'
'All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their defects.' (Huxley)"
Analysis:
Instead of dealing with feelings like normal, the people of BNW take soma to skip any negative emotions because they have become too impatient to rely on anything other than what the technology of soma grants them.

Analysis:
in terms of Beatty’s society members often do not have the patience to slowly fall asleep, so they take advantage of the technology of sleeping tablets. Often users are so impatient that they will overdose, seeking the immediate result that the technology of sleeping pills grants. ]]> 2021-02-16 15:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207232773 Evidence: Price-Mitchell farl20803 https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207241585 "many wished parents would spend less time on their devices and felt frustrated when people surfed the internet, checked email, or texted while they were hanging out together" (Mitchell).

Analysis:
Modern technology users find it difficult to stay engaged with others because they often are too impatient to start/keep conversation or find other means of fun, so they use technology to keep themselves entertained.]]> 2021-02-16 15:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207241585 Argument: Technology has also contributed to the growing impatience of society by shortening people’s attention spans by speeding things up, or, virtually speeding life up. farl20803 https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207255500 2021-02-16 15:06:25 UTC https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207255500 Evidence: BNW farl20803 https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207258256 (Need to find good quote) The helicopters used in BNW are a means of transportation that are not entirely safe, but everyone chooses to use them because getting to destinations is much quicker. People in BNW do not prefer isolation in a helicopter and would rather get to their destination as soon as possible, demonstrating this level of impatience.]]> 2021-02-16 15:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207258256 Evidence: F451 farl20803 https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207265487 "Have you seen the two-hundred-foot-long billboards in the country beyond town? Did you know that once billboards were only twenty feet long? But cars started rushing by so quickly they had to stretch the advertising out so it would last" (7).
"Classics [are] cut to fit fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column, winding up at last as a ten- or twelve-line dictionary resume" (52).

Analysis: 
Technology only affects its users as much as we allow it to. But because it is so accessible, our patience often relies on the structure of technology itself. Like the radio shows that are cut to be really short, we get used to this shorter and faster clip of information and then all of a sudden anything longer that requires more attention seems impractical, highlighting the impatience promoted by technology.]]> 2021-02-16 15:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207265487 Evidence: Price-Mitchell farl20803 https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207277296 "Next to face-to-face interactions, texting is king. Why? Teens say it’s quick, easy, and gives them the opportunity to think before responding" (Mitchell).

Analysis:
Teenage technology users prefer technology as methods of communication because of the increasing lack of patience to deal with face-to-face interactions. With the quick send of a text message, teens can send a message that they otherwise might not have been able to find the words for in a face-to-face encounter.

"An almost naked Indian was very slowly climbing down the ladder from the first-floor terrace of a neighboring house–rung after rung, with the tremulous caution of extreme old age." Lenina's horrified reaction: "'Old?' she repeated. 'But the Director's old; lots of people are old; they're not like that'" (Huxley).
Analysis:
When granted access to the technology available to Lenina, the benefits are great, but as a result people like Lenina have become to impatient to see or do anything the old way. ]]> 2021-02-16 15:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207301182 Evidence: F451 farl20803 https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207322013 Faber, a partner of Montag’s, explains how "Books can be beaten down with reason. But with all my knowledge and skepticism, I have never been able to argue with a one- hundred-piece symphony orchestra, full color, three dimensions, and I being in and part of those incredible parlors" (80).

Analysis:
The dry elements of traditional activities like reading have been replaced with other means of technological entertainment, not because of force, but rather because technology can always be counted on to entertain. ]]> 2021-02-16 15:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207322013 Evidence: Price-Mitchell farl20803 https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207328588 "Because they value face-to-face relationships, many agreed that social media takes time away from being with people in-person, which they often perceive as a dilemma" (Mitchell).

Analysis:
Teens do value face-to-face relationships and acknowledge that technology like social media takes away from this time in-person, but these technology users are often too impatient to rely on these old ways of communication (in person). Instead, they continue to use social media and texting as a replacement method because its benefits outweigh those of in person communication.]]> 2021-02-16 15:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207328588 Echoing the Authors farl20803 https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207346228 REPHRASE IN ESSAY:
Technology has caused its users to take full advantage of its aspects with little regard for older more appropriate ways (Huxley in BNW).
Technology has caused its users to become enveloped in its fictional realities and therefore less patient for anything "slower" (F451 Bradbury).
Though Mitchell does acknowledge that teens value face-to-face communication, these technology users are often too impatient to use these old methods and will revert to  social media (Price Mitchell "Inside Digital Lives of Teens).

If this method of search fails, we often quit and will try again in an area with more connection, or WIFI. But we fail to consider looking it up in a book or in any old method because it takes too long.]]> 2021-02-16 15:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/farl20803/j5ji4d10o6bd3cna/wish/1207376983
