Internet time may be a clich but it is also a reality. Most engineers are uncomfortable with this concept. Engineers are disciplined and deliberate. They have the tools and techniques to study an idea. They love to analyze a problem, dissect it and apply solid principles to develop a solution.
Physical sciences are very precise.
The laws of physics are pretty fixed. This often limits engineers in their reaction time. Business today demands faster responses. Detailed study is not allowed, once an opportunity is identified. Do your homework.
