A persons ability to delay gratification relates to other similar skills such as patience, impulse control, self-control and willpower, all of which are involved in self-regulation. Delayed gratification, or deferred gratification, is the ability to resist the temptation for an immediate reward and wait for a later reward. But in this rapid pace life, hardly anybody is looking for delayed gratification. This is the era of instant gratification. Imagine seeing something in a magazine that turns out to be just what you want and then scanning it with your phone and finding it waiting for you at home when you get there. Instant gratification is coming to all of us in just a few more years. Amazon is trying it out, Google has it going on the west coast and Peapod has been doing it for years.
