Websites face four-second cut-off

With high speed internet access and better equipments, I think that user's expectation is going to increase over time. I remember those days when I was on dial-up line with 56K modem and high data dropping rate. Then I was *very patient*.

With Web 2.0, the web access time is significantly reduced. This is really nice. I do not know if our younger generation is able to appreciate this as they have not gone through the "Static Content, Slow internet speed, Slow PC, ..." You name it. Almost everything was slow then.

And, we are pampered with wealth of content on the Web. With Google (organizing the Web), you can search for answers to your question in less then one second. I use Google Group almost everyday. (it was dejanews, then it became "deja" and then "Google Group")

Now, doctors are googling ... [Google 'aids doctors' diagnoses'].
