Democratic governments are slow by design. A dictatorship (or Kingdom or whatever form of "one person to rule them all") would be extremely fast, a more centralized government wouldn't be as fast but still far faster than the current decentralized versions used in most countries. That also means bad decisions could reach people far faster, in the worst case without a chance to correct them anymore. Democracies fix this by requiring slow legislative processes. You bring in a bill, it needs supporters, it gets discussed in whatever form of working group your legislation uses, the public can discuss it, can form protest against it and so on. Sure, this takes time, but it reduces the risks of really bad things slipping through, which is far more important than "Meh! Silicon Valley just takes a week to bring a new product, I want my government MVP now!!"
