Why aren’t computers faster?

1.52K views

When I grew up computers were slow and you had to spend a lot of time waiting for programs and games to load, and the startup time for a computer could be minutes. Since then a long time has passed, and with all the progress in technology and science you would think that todays computers would be fast as lightning.

But still I find myself waiting a lot. Especially on a PC, where programs can take ages to start, and keeps crashing now and then. It’s like it doesn’t matter how strong and fast computers gets, the programs are always a step ahead and too big for the computers to handle.

My first computer back in the early 1990s had programs that were considered huge if they were more than a few MBs in size. Today I use programs that are up near 100GB in size. They load in less time than those programs back in the early 1990s did.
