About the millisecond

The millisecond became critical with the development of electronics and computing in the 20th century, where response times are measured in ms.

In everyday use the millisecond appears in computer latency, photo shutter speeds, reaction time testing, and network ping. As a point of reference: the average human reaction time is about 250 milliseconds.
