Who hasn't had the frustrating experience of trying to run the latest
software on an outdated computer? Or asking a computer with a small
processor or insufficient memory to handle several complex tasks at

drive).

matter what cool programs or impressive data you load into the computer:
Everything's going to run slowly.
Cognitive skills serve your brain in
the very same way.
