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.

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.
