Why have computers got smaller?

Answer 1

Newer electronics devices introduced in each computer generation (and thereby defining the generation) are more compact and consume less power than the older electronic devices, enabling the size of both the computer's electronic hardware and cooling system to be reduced significantly.

Answer 2

Because the technology being made is improving all the time. More data can be stored in a smaller area. More data can be transferred along simpler communication systems. Computers that would fill a whole room a few decades ago had a tiny fraction of the power and capabilities of the standard computers that we now use. The computers are getting smaller, but they are also getting more powerful.

Answer 3

Advances in technology made people realize that they are using too much material on one machine so they use less thus your screen getting smaller

Answer 4

I think that there are a lot of people who contributed to downsizing computers. You also can't say that it was just a company as well.

Answer 5

Computers got smaller because the parts used to make them got smaller because technology got smaller.

Answer 6

Because we are getting smarter which means we have more and better ideas which causes us to advance our technology, making it smaller, more convenient

Answer 7

Advances in technology reduced the size of many components - meaning the cases of modern computers could be made smaller.

Answer 8

the modern computers are smaller than early computers becouse the early computers could not program the new computers we have today. our computers have more technology.

Answer 9

Early computers are large

Modern computers are easy to carry and they run several programs at once and they have lot of memory.

Answer 10

They are smaller and cheaper easy to carry. less expensive , more powerful , they are faster , they are with single silicon chip. single user for applications and more powerful than a typical PC.
