It would seen to me that were it not for the limitations of human anatomy, we would be having microscopic laptops, cellphones (mobile phones), ipods, everything. The world seems to be going miniature.
The only thing that seems to go the other way must be the TV. Even this though, I've noticed, is becoming increasingly paper-thin. Just a couple of years ago, the more space your TV occupied in the living room, the more prestigious it looked. Today, the television screen hardly rises above my wallpaper! That too is miniaturization.
But how can this be the trend when, on balance, human beings are getting bigger every decade? This means out seats, cars, beds, shoes, clothing, and the like can only keep growing bigger and bigger
What is the reason behind the miniaturization of our gizmos? Is there some fascination with the dimunitive, or is it because space and energy costs waxing bigger?
I would vouch for this since instead of castles, villas and bungalow, we are making do with highrise flats, apartments and studios.
Property rates from the United States of America, to Latin America, India, China and even the Middle East have escalated along with foreclosures.
I dare not mention Europe at all.
As for Africa, well, we would be talking property mostly in the cities. But the stoty remains largely true.
We can look forward then to a growing demand for Nano cars, micro bikes, but hopefully, no micro-babies.
