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?

Manufacturing and design innovations basically. The first computer filled a room because they needed that much space to get all the parts/power supply/etc. but then once the concept of how a computer worked was established, people could start innovating with “can we get the same number of circuits on the board in a more efficient way?” or “what else is out there that could power this thing that’s smaller?” And the manufacturing technology that allows for smaller and smaller components is also come leaps and bounds. The robotics needed to make the microchips have gotten better and more refined over the years, so can make smaller things
