- Miniaturisation
- The development in technology means that products have reduced in size through new advances.
- For example, the mobile phone has reduced in size considerably from models introduced in the 1980s.
- This has been possible due to three key developments
- Advanced integrated circuits
- Allow more circuitry to be included on each microchip, increasing functionality and power.
- Advanced battery technology
- Including Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries, providing a lightweight means of storing a lot of energy.
- Advanced liquid crystal displays
- Enabling colour screens that are thinner and brighter and requires much smaller current.
- Advanced integrated circuits

- For example, the mobile phone has reduced in size considerably from models introduced in the 1980s.
- This has also led to advances that have reduced unit costs, enabling low-cost electronic products.
