Tablet technology still fails

I have wi fi and a tablet. I swipe my finger, no response. I swipe again, no response. I commence to beating on the thing. Finally it responds by executing every single one of my finger beatings.  With Wi Fi, each of the finger taps is a one minute internet access.  Once the tablet starts rolling, it has about 20 finger beatings it has to respond to, each finger tapped on one screen, but then interpreted by another screen. Finally I put the table down and use the desk top. The tablet is wastes about 90% of the bandwidth and time.
