Make things smaller the more advanced it is?
The reason why I ask this is recently, I got a new computer (which, by the way, kicks the fuck out of my old one. It feels so...Fresh...) and the tower unit is so big, I actually had to take apart the desk a bit and put some wood on the front and back of it so it would fit. Roughly, it's about 26" height and depth which, in comparrison to my 4 year old computer, is fucking huge.
This too will pass.
