Can an old piece of technology slow you down(rust you)?

[napster007]

Suppose if you have a slow piece of tech(in this case a PC). You turn it on everyday and the work(non-job-oriented) you're supposed to do in 30 minutes take you 60 to 90 minutes.

 

Will it affect your life?

 

After a certain period of time you start skipping some things because your brain is tired of this slowness..You demand a new faster PC but your demands are not fulfilled.

 

Your brain becomes kinda rusty, procrastinating, doing other things slow etc.

What do you do?

but your demands are not fulfilled.

Thought experiment ( actually you can test this yourself, if you can code/put togheter something, like over internet, internet latency, server latency, idk...):

 

Supposed there is tremendous imput lag when gaming. I mean seconds. Brain will adapt to it. You will allways see everything with a delay. Afterwards, when you try to do some normal tasks in realtime, you will feel out of this place. Brain will still work the same. ( I tried, very, very queezy experience )

This is definitly not long term, but i have no idea if this was regular, if the brain would actually wire up the way to adapt to it. Probably.

 

 

Someone should do this kind of indie game or mod for game or something. The weirdest experience ever Really really weird. Just walking around is like you are not in the 3D anymore, but rather just an observer. I went to wash my face to see if i can sober myself up. Didnt work, it lasted for minutes. If i remeber correctly i actually spent a while in bathroom The presence was ... skewed. Hard to explain. Maybe have to try it soon and will explain on this forum to inspire some pro indie dev to make a game or mod of it sure people would like to experience that haha

 

i wonder if there is even a name of this phenomena. or if its written/described explained anywhere. brb go ask google.

 

Edit: hmm maybe oculus rifters also experience similar phenomena? There is definitly lag in oculus. not so big tho
