In counterpoint, computer use gets slower and slower. I start the morning waiting until the computer deigns to turn on the screen, displaying a prompt to unlock it. Controls are invisible; I must mouse to the correct location, wait, and interact when they appear. Web sites take significant time to load, and while they may start displaying before some gigantic chunk of software arrives, they frequently redraw the screen when the rest arrives - inserting some large image ahead of where I've started reading, just as I attempt to scroll down for more of the text. Or they require scrolling to the bottom, clicking more, repeatedly, to get the entire contents so that the web browsers search function will tell me whether or not the list includes the one thing I'm looking for. To log in to many sites, I must click on the login button, which produces a menu, in which I must click on the login button, which produces the actual login/password pair; I must then supply id and password, and finally click the real login button. Then the site may well insist that I provide two factor authentication; on a good day, the needed code arrives at my phone within a minute, to be manually retyped on the computer. (On a bad day, the message isn't sent, and I have to retry, then fall back to an alternate option for receiving the code.) Sites used to require far fewer steps to get to the userid/password input, not to mention not requiring two factor authentication for accounts the user doesn't believe to rate that much security. And the capstone is the demise of type ahead. Are you old enough to remember when you could type before a program launched, in happy confidence that it would receive your input? Also, of course, before various prompts appeared. That was "fixed" long ago. Later we also lost "focus follows pointer" in window based systems. The loss of visible controls came later; all three combine to make computer use much slower and far more frustrating.
