It is quite interesting to note that with each step of advancement in technology, the size of the electronic gadgets seems to be decreasing. Printers are a case in point. The earliest printers were large sized behemoths that occupied one entire corner of an office space. People who had smaller homes and offices thought twice before buying their printers. That is not the case now. The modern printers are pint sized and can sit comfortably on a desk. They are also portable and can be carried along. Most of the major printer manufacturers are now coming up with small printers to lure both commercial and personal buyers.
