7. Not so much that, but...
...I do notice that I overwhelm really easily. That is, if someone calls me up and immediately launches into a monologue about his/her day, with lots of stream-of-consciousness discussion and plenty of detail, I feel too flooded with information. The same goes for having multiple cell phone conversations going on around me (Come to think of it, that's just annoying).

Anyway, I seem to recall reading that the faster pace of life nowadays has affected everything from attention spans to expectations (e.g., never having to wait for slow-cooked food).
