People want things to be quick. We send mail instantly, speak with and see people who are in different areas in the world, and pay for things with almost no waiting time. These things are made possible because of the modern computers that we have.
But you should know that a computer can become slower over time, and you would have to do some maintenance on it to speed it up. You could try removing adware or malware programs, defragmenting your hard drive, and limiting the amount of programs that will start up automatically.
One of the main reasons that computers run slow is that they have been infected with adware or malware. Adware and malware usually are used to try to make their creator money by directing you to advertising that you did not request, or downloading programs that you do not want. There are some good programs that can be used to remove adware and malware programs.
A fragmented hard drive can also cause a major slowdown if it is not cleaned up. Usually a hard drive tries to store files contiguously (together). However as a hard drive gets more full; it is not able to put all of the new files together. Know that when this happens, your computer slows down. You can remedy this by running the Disk Defragmenter so your files will be cleaned up.
Finally, you can limit the amount of programs that start automatically when your computer reboots. Yes it can be convenient if programs start up automatically so they'll be ready when you will use them, but if you don't even use them that much, then they would just be a nuisance. The best thing to do is to set them to not start-up automatically, but just run them as you need them. Just let programs that you really need run automatically. Doing this can make a big difference on your computer's speed.
