Tech tends to get smaller over time. Except when it doesn't.
The other day, for reasons I will never recall, I started thinking about the sizes of PC gaming things, and realized that I couldn't make a simple statement about whether they were generally getting bigger or smaller. Computer tech gets smaller over time, a fact that's hard to argue with when you consider that early computers were housed in entire rooms. However, it's not the case thatcomputing-related things shrink over time.
Naturally, I got the stupid idea of cataloguing some of the shrinkings and embiggenings our hobby has experienced over time. Below are my verdicts on which PC gaming things have gotten smaller, and which have gotten bigger. The time frame is loose: I'm looking back to the '90s and early 2000s compared to the present day.
