Picture this - you are sitting and waiting to see the doctor. Your appointment was half an hour ago but you arrived an hour ago to ensure you would be seen on time. The waiting continues. You look around and others are also waiting. Having already flicked through all the repeatedly read and now frayed magazines, you start to twiddle your thumbs. Boredom sets in. Frustration nudges it out of the way. Sound familiar? Now, what if I told you that long waiting times were a thing of the past? That you could multitask in your office while waiting. Or better still, watch TV in the comfort of your own home? Well, that is exactly what I am going to tell you.
