Time-wasting technology… British wait five days each year for slow computers
BRITONS waste up to five days a year waiting for computers to boot up, files to download and websites to open, says research.
Slow computers are wasting our time
Sluggish technology is even causing computer users to skip family meals and dates with loved ones.
Two-fifths of those questioned would rather use the time to watch TV or a film.
Others would go to the gym.
Computer firm Crucial.com, which commissioned the survey, said a memory upgrade was the answer.
A spokesman said: “With the overall hours saved, people could spend more time with family or treat partners to a few extra date nights.”
