Delays in Computer Science - How Much Have They Changed Over the Years 1994-2020?

The article presents an interactive visualization of latency in interactions with various systems. The author, Colin Scott, analyzes the significance of latency in the context of user experiences and demonstrates how different factors can influence response time. The visualization allows users to understand how latency is perceived and what their expectations are regarding interaction speed. The interactive component of the article enables users to experiment with various parameters, aiming to provide a deeper insight into this complex issue. Colin Scott's work emphasizes the importance of designing systems with latency in mind and the need to tailor interfaces to user needs to ensure optimal experiences. This is particularly crucial in light of increasing performance demands across various platforms and devices.
