How does technology get smaller?

499 views

Someone invents something that works a certain way. How do they get that technology and make it smaller and better? Why couldn’t they just do that from the start? Like PS4 and a PS4 slim. Or PS2 and PS2 slim? It’s the same performance yet it’s smaller?

A lot of great answers. One more reason to throw in is that often in engineering, the first version is focused on solving the problem. The next iterations are focused on improving the solution. If you would try to focus on making perfect thing the first time, you will end up in the endless design loop. It’s hard to predict what the users will really need or want, so it better to get something out and look into users feedback.
