I sometimes wonder if I will ALWAYS be impatient with the processing speed of computers and their ilk, or is it just a matter of rising to and beyond the level of the computer’s incompetence? I know I could do so much more if I wasn’t always waiting for the computer to catch up with me, for numbers to crunch, for displays to refresh, for pages to download… but then I think that the point isn’t to do more. Maybe the computer’s just mirroring my OWN processing speed, and my left brain just jumps in and complains because the change in sensory input is slow, even if SENSORY input’s just a small part of what’s going on. *grin* Maybe I can start using those pauses to my advantage – to reassess my current direction and “tune in” instead of stopping my own flow of creativity to C-O-M-P-L-A-I-N? (How utterly REACTIVE of me! Tsk tsk.) Or maybe the stopping to complain is actually what CREATES the pauses and slowness in the first place? Aaaaarrrggghh! *Kristen runs screaming down a long, dark, narrow hallway.* *A door slams in the distance.* *All is silent.*
