As one from this younger generation I would stand to argue that the impatience is driven by the sheer exponential overload of information that we are bombarded with. This additionally, with the rate at which research and advancements that take place necessitate the need for faster methods of searching, retrieval and categorization. Granted the signal to noise ratio is lower on the internet but google provides the ability to more effectivly discover relivant information.
This isn't to say there is an issue with the lack of persistence and patience in a task. I live in a small town south of Omaha, NE and when I'm not at work I'm training horses with my wife. The contrast from the daily IT work to training a horse is immense. Training takes patience, understanding and consistency measured in months and not hours and days as with most IT tasks.
Unfortunately your post is less than "insightful" if not wrong.
Your statement "tax-free programmer" is hardly tax free. He's not benefiting from the service not being taxed, it is the consumer that is benefiting. The tax law just means that the programmer will have to add on tax to the total bill. With all of the ways that money is taxed there's no need for more taxes, just better management. When they buy pencils for $4.00/each that is an absurd waste of money. If anything else we need more responsibility in government rather than more taxes.
Re: your point about saving? How? Are you referring to an income tax rebate that people get at the end of the year? That doesn't have to do with sales tax. You never get sales tax back.
I'm going to cast a vote for a WiFi enabled VOIP device (similar to a Trio?)
You know... on second thought it looks kind of like this! now that I think about it...
He could defer the cost though by allowing his neighbor's to purchase a movie player device and charge them a monthly fee for access to any of the 1000 movies!

So what about considering bio diesel? http://www.biodiesel.org/
Not only does it reduce emissions but you don't have to replace your core transportation infrastructure and you increase your need for farmers.
