'Want It Now' culture among students

I found another online article on the Times Higher Education but this angle was on students in reguards to students wanting the answers there and then. An instead of research properly and in depth relying on the internet for quick answers. The former vice-chancellor of the University of Kent Sir David Melville expressed his concern saying  "The use of these technologies does seem to lead to a tendency for very shallow searching for information and increases the desire for instant information."

Don't get me wrong the internet is a very useful tool that should be embraced ,but it seems to me that we are all so desperate to get what we want as quickly as we can, we have almost forgotten what hard work feels like.
