     @gerrymcgovern Displays update the image tens of times per second and delete the old image. Video games and office apps for example.

     Factories have lots of sensors and automation. Much of that data is only used for a fraction of a second.

     Anything watched or listened to via the internet and not actively saved to disk at the receiving end.
