If I go get an old tablet it will take 5x as long to load google.com as the day I bought it.

Once upon a time, google.com was like five lines of HTML. Google loved to brag about how they didn't even close their tags, because the page still rendered and it saved bytes.

Now I measure it at 300+ lines and 200KB, not counting assets.

Same generally goes for every software you know and love.
