Problem/Case/Situation
The first computer ENIAC was as big as a room and now the size of a computer has reduced to
that of a grain of rice. This is thanks to the simplification of the logic circuit of some components
like transistors. Give examples of some components that were at first large and are now reduced
to smaller forms.
Orientation Questions/Directives
Problem Situation

a) Case 1: Like a computer, other electronic devices were also reduced? Give examples.
b) Case 2: There are some advantages and disadvantages when the sizes of electronic devices are
reduces. What are these advantages and disadvantages?
Expected answers/ Possible Responses 
a) Case 1: A calculator, a monitor, a printer etc.
b) Case 2:
Advantages: Easily portable or easy to carry on, battery last longer, occupies less space
etc
Disadvantages: Small screen (difficult for people with eye problem), low storage capacity,
small keyboards, OS with fewer features,
