Did the Internet Speed up the World?

One question I have been asking myself for some time now was whether the Internet sped up the world or not. It seems that the answer to this question is fairly simple. The Internet definitely sped up the world. Why do I believe so? Let me talk for example about shopping online. Every time I want to order something online, I am almost guaranteed to receive it the next working day. This is how Internet shopping works, especially in developed countries such as the country where I live. The infrastructure here is great and I can order anything and have it delivered to my doorstep in less than a day.
