It's like keeping your paper work in order. If your paper work was never in order then you will never know were to find what you're looking for. You will find what you're looking for but this process will take you a very long time. This is how the computer works when searching for the file replace the word "paper" in the first paragraph with "file" and replace the word "your" with computer. Defragmentation Speeds and organises files so the disk can read what ever process your doing quicker , more sufficient and will stop computer from issues in the future.
