why do computers get slow?

598 viewsOtherTechnology

I mean, not only slow and unresponsive over time, but also within a working session. Does it have to do with the amount of programs running, the internet tabs open, the amount of time turned on, or just the physical materials wearing off? I’m both genuinely curious but would also want to know to see if there’s anything I can do when my computer gets slow

Thank you guys:)

There are 4 factors

– battery , if its a phone it needs juice, old battery can’t do that as well

– cooling , most of modern-ish components are heat limited, there will be dust collected that will limit performance

– new features , the extra animation, the new format support or new apps that you have running in background

– security , any holes that are found need to be fixed, sometimes that takes away from the speed, famously heartbleed/spectre in CPUs that costed 10% of performance in some cases
