Speed?

I am trying to learn how to use the various tools of the Information Revolution. It is very frustrating for a man my age (almost 73.) On the one hand things happen with blazing speed. On the other there are what seem to be long waiting time, and unending complexity. My research assistant, Joe Manzari, at the American Enterprise Institute, is only 22, --- a splendid fellow --- is trying to help me, as are colleagues who work with me on the rapidly expanding work we are doing on my television program on PBS, Think Tank.
It's a long road a'winding.
