Why do computers slow down, but then you restart them and they work again?

Could you explain in the form of an analogy? Also, has this improved over time? Does it have anything to do with registry and defrag? Is it different for Mac vs PC? Thank you 🙂

Think about using a computer like a picnic blanket. You turn on the picnic, lay out your food and start eating. After a while you need to pee so you get up. There’s loads of stuff all over the blanket and you have to carefully navigate it to get out – slowing you down. So you decide to restart the blanket by grabbing the corners and flicking all the crap off.

Done. Now you know how to have a picnic.
