Why do computers start to slow down over time?
In: 1180
The speed of the processors and electronics stays the same, but software in general gets “more and more bloated” over time. Software gets patched almost weekly, so “more features” and/or “more exceptions to check” keep getting added on, making the software require faster / more processing power over time. The computer doesn’t “improve” like the software, so what you observe is that “it’s getting slower.”
