I remember well reading an article in Popular Electronics, back in the 1960s
some time, where the point was made that with the trend in "miniaturization"
that was started even back then, the ultimate limit wasn't going to be in
the circuitry, but rather in the bits that the operator had to interact
with-- the controls and such.
And while those have gotten smaller than they used to be as well, there is a
limit!
Bigger knobs and switches are easier to operate anyway!
