may have gotten a little bit bigger but not by much but could you imagine the size of a computer based on the ENIAC <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENIAC> technology and the power requirements? The original consumed 150KW and weighed about 30 tons, a modern day version would need its own power station and would take up a football stadium
Ah but you are forgetting as Admiral Hopper liked to point out, the size of a nanosecond. A football stadium sized computer could not get out of it's own way.
