While i was reading Chapter 3, Tapscott talks about how when he wrote his first book, he only had a low 360-bits-per-second dial-up connection, and when he wrote this book, fifteen years later, he had around 9,600-bits-per-second dial-up. With that much of an increase within 15 years is a giant jump. He also explains how the Net Gen do not want to wait around for a long period of time, just to wait for a message. The internet has developed a quick response, that the Net Gen does not just want to settle for e-mail, but something much faster like instant messaging. Businesses these days use instant messaging to talk to everyone in the building for corporation instead of using e-mail. They want a faster response so they can get whatever they want done, to get done faster. No one wants to wait around for a message that you might not get for a couple hours, or even days.
