> The software we use is 1000 times more complex than it was 20 years ago, leading to performance that really have not improved a lot, and a lot of functional stagnation.

Performance has improved dramatically, but latency went up too.

I don't think I've ever had computer with lower latency in any application than when using my M1 Pro MacBook. Sure, it's 20 years of hardware innovation, but at least someone is doing something right.

Keyboard button press to screen response is ~100ms whereas an Apple IIe was 35ms.

Apple had the iPad Pro pencil latency down to 30ms in 2017: https://danluu.com/input-lag/

How'd you measure that?

Most measurements were taken with the 240fps camera (4.167 ms resolution) in the iPhone SE. Devices with response times below 40 ms were re-measured with a 1000fps camera (1 ms resolution), the Sony RX100 V in PAL mode.
