Buffering? Do things still buffer?

I have to be honest: I am impatient. This is why I cook, and not bake. Craft, and not knit. I am impatient. And you know what burns me the most? My impatience with technology and internets. I feel that you should not have to wait for anything regarding the Internet.
When I download an album on iTunes, I feel as if it should be there instantly. I get viscerally upset when a .pdf or word doc takes more than a few seconds. If it does, I will most likely exaggerate and tell you that it took ten minutes to open. Oh yeah, I am an exaggerator in addition to being an impatient person.I nearly had a heart attack yesterday morning when a song I was trying to listen to on Pandora stopped for BUFFERING THREE TIMES. I have not seen "buffering 16%" since college when would gather around 2002 model laptops trying to share some HILARIOUS video of Texas A & M dudes dancing to some Eminem song. I thought buffering was a thing of the past, like scratched CDs or unwound cassettes. Guess not, cause I had to wait in anguish through some awkward buffering just yesterday.This made me realize I need to calm down with the technological impatience. In a world where I can find anything I want on the Internet or phone or iPad almost instantaneously...what's waiting for the rest of the 84% to buffer? I will live, I know it.This does bring me to an important and serious point: write to your representatives about opposing SOPA and PIPA. These are two acts before Congress that would have the potential to harmfully compromise free Internet.

I'll even take a little buffering.
