In the ~30 years I've used computers, they've become ~1,000,000 times faster. My daily experience with computers doesn't show it. There's someone out there who took the time to measure UI latency and has shown that, no only isn't it faster, it's actually slowed down. And yet, our hardware is 1,000,000 times faster...
Edit: this is the latency project I was thinking about https://danluu.com/input-lag/
