Twenty-three years ago, my portable phone weights ten pounds and the battery lasted less than an hour. My iPhone weighs about five ounces and I can talk for six to eight hours. Miniaturization comes in many forms. Most miniature devices today are high tech. A modern P&S camera produces images much better than a 150 year old 16 X 20 wet plate camera. Miniaturization is a form of progress, some of it bad, but, in the case of pixels, a powerful piece of progress.
