Besides the technology becoming dated and therefore slower than when compared to newer models, there are a number of factors:
Excess of old and redundant software. Every time the computer boots it loads small fragments of these old programs which are not necessarily used.
The disk drive becomes fragmented, meaning that data for a single program or file can be stored over many physical locations on the drive. This means the read/ seek time when accessing the file is slower as it has to physically load from a number of disk locations.
Easiest way to speed up an old computer is:
1. Uninstall all old programs that are no longer needed on the computer.
2. Empty the recycle bin, delete all old temporary or cache files (ie. Explorer cache files).
3. Use a program such as Piriform CCleaner to find and delete all old registry entries from the file registry; you can use the same program to delete old temporary and cache files.
4. Use a disk de-fragmenter program to consolidate physical files on the drive so that the access speed is increased.
ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE RESORTING TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, DO NOT DISTURB THE PROGRAMS ONCE THEY START CLEANING UP YOUR PC, THIS CAN CAUSE FILE CORRUPTION.
computers are slower
No they are a lot faster now.
it makes the interenet speed much slower
it goes slower
A longer reaction time and increased control over the vehicle.
all because of computers!
It's not about computers, it's about software which requires more and more computer resources with each release.
The development of computers from 300bc is that the computers back then is alot slower than the ones that are here now
A less steep slope indicates a slower velocity than that of a steeper slope.
Take the clock on a trip to the sun and it will tick slower. This means that time will go SLOWER!! Take the clock on a trip to the sun and it will tick slower. This means that time will go SLOWER!!
Back in the olden days, computer used to be significantly larger compared to today's computers, due to the size of the components. Over time, computer manufacturing companies were able to make these components smaller, and thus allow computers to fit in our homes.
A place on a mountain roadway where slower moving vehicles can pull over is called a turnout. These are typically long enough that the slower vehicle can pull over but not have to stop.
