On tech: Why smaller and smaller?

I find it interesting how everything now a days has gotten so small. From computers that used to take up an entire room on its own to little note books that are as thin as paper. Who would have predicted back then that ther telephone would be re-engineered into a portable device and would become an extension to our senses? Technology has truly made things smaller and smaller.

Which actually makes me wonder is smaller more convenient? Now that I think about it smaller screens on phones and computers means more stress on the eyes. You can't deny that there is a huge link between small screens and bad eyes. And with the new small i-pods out with its insanely small screens and very fragile housings, I won't be surprised if Steve Jobbs experiences complete blindness due to Karma before he dies.

And technology making everything smaller is making it hard for the obese people, these people have fat fingers and struggle with using small keyboards on computers and small keypads on cellphones, its fine that it motivates them in a weird and cruel way to loose weight but enough is enough.

Also it's not just that nearly blind and insanely fat people that experience inconvenience, our wallets feel it too. Since technology is smaller it is a lot less sturdy then it was before and since everyone depends on technology now a days we have no choice but to buy these fragile products. And it still dosen't stop there. Too compensate for the weak housing on small tech we have to buy all these other things that the developers made to make sure that it doesn't break such as casings, protectors, and what not gadgets that burns of additonal hundreds from our wallets hundreds that could be used for food for the fat people and hundreds that could pay for the glasses of the nearly blind people.Soon Steve and the other developers would have to realize that there is such a thing as too frickin small!
