The infographic below (originally shared with me by @gvoakes) paints a picture of a speed-obsessed, impatient, and rude population... and I don't think it's far off. With astonishing numbers like:

• Google answers 34,000 questions every second (3 billion daily Google searches)
• 25% of people abandon web pages that take more than 4 seconds to load
• 50% of mobile users abandon a page if it doesn't load in under 10 seconds, and 60% of those users would never return to that site…
