The Google Generation Hates to Wait

The Google Generation refers to those who have grown up in a digital world and are both mobile and impatient.

More than 3 billion Google searches – that’s 34,000 per second – are made every day. One in 7 of these searches are made on 5.9 billion mobile phones and 1 in 4 mobile users browse only on their mobiles – not desktops, laptops or tablets – just their phones.

Mobile users spend an average of 27 minutes a day texting, talking and browsing. Despite all this time online mobile users hate to wait. Half of mobile users will abandon a search if the website takes more than 10 seconds to load. And 75% will not return to a site that is too slow.
