You know, I could say the same for some students in school. lol It's like they come to class, only to stare off and daydream instead of paying attention.
Oh gosh. XD That's so true. People are so terribly impatient and don't wait long enough for you to reply. Now I'll end up thinking of them as 'digital goldfish' thanks to this post. XD

I like the term. Now... how about we combine it with the Japanese insult "goldfish turd"? A goldfish turd is one who follows after others just to follow them... *giggle*

I feel like.. im actually patient now.
I walk in sometimes and say "Hello there" and no one replies. I'm actually not bugged by it. Well, its more like i dont exactly notice it.
Theres people on here that tell me that they have ADD or ADHD or something. I tell them i do too. Who knows? Maybe i do. Half the kids i know have it, so why cant i? :P
Yeah, i agree with you though. I think they should give at least a little longer then 5 seconds for a hello.
I believe that this article, although prone to cursing, would be highly amusing for you if nothing else. Yeah, it's cracked.com, but it's still hilarious.

We should start using that term for chat peeps. Digital goldfish. XD
I found this line in the article kind of amazing:
Ever on the lookout for engaging content, most online viewers spend less than 60 seconds at an average site.
I dunno about you, but I definitely spend more than 60 seconds here, at OB and at dothackers. ._.
Finally, that article Nehz linked to is great. I almost made a world post solely dedicated to showing it off to everyone.

I would have linked you to an article, but I see Nehszriah beat me to it. I think you'll find it amusing, since it's so true. lol
