Miniaturization is the process of making things smaller and smaller. Due to that, they can get lighter in weight and more powerful than the predecessor; this is especially beneficial in computers, aerospace, and aviation.
The best example is probably: The vacuum tubes were replaced by transistors which lead to the smaller "personal computer", eventually leading to the laptop and the smartphone.

How did Marcion Hoffs invention change computers?
Miniaturization.
What is the most remarkable product of miniaturization?
Computer chip
What do you call thejapanese art of miniaturization of trees?
This is called Bonsai.
What technological improvements came as a result of the space race?
computer miniaturization
What is the meaning of the term miniaturization as used in computer generations?
Miniaturization (Br.Eng.: Miniaturisation) is the creation of ever-smaller scales for mechanical, optical, and electronic products and devices. Miniaturization is a continuing trend in the production of such devices.Items which take up less space are more desired than items which are bigger and bulkier because they are easier to carry, easier to store, and much more convenient to use.
Is there a saturation point for the microprocessor technology miniaturization?
Yes: this is the wavelength of the radiaion used for engraving.
What are the advantages of miniaturization in technology?
Mostly when u miniaturize something it is for space or to make it portable
Have scientists found a way to get thousands of transistors on a slip of material no bigger than your fingernail?
yes and such miniaturization has been around for a long time now. The degree of miniaturization possible far exceeds a few thousand on something as big as a fingernail.
What invention in 1947 led to the miniaturization of electronic devices in the future?
Most likely the Silicon Chip.
Is micro-miniaturization possible?
I suppose that anything is possible, although I doubt that micro mini is very probable.
What statement is an example of an economic trend?
A new computer chip is announced which will allow for miniaturization of many electronic devices.
What is the contribution of microchip in a computer development?
It allowed miniaturization beyond the discrete transistor, allowing the introduction of the minicomputer in the middle 1960s.
