Testing Patience

The computer hangs, the smartphone gets infected, the ATM machine announces it is 'temporarily' unavailable for service, the traffic jams, the junk e-mails, etc. etc. Modern-day necessities and everything that ride on them. At times, it's testing your patience. Those times are when they are taking a leave of duty, not functional. Being so used to the prompt response, available on demand situation, we forget that we used to wait in line, patiently, waiting for turn at the phone booth, at the bank counter, for busses and trains tickets.
