Works with cars too, modern bloated cars are really big from outside, wide and tall, but there is less interior space than earlier models of same car which had smaller outer dimensions.

All the unneeded huge plastic 'decorations' are taking really big part of space from inside.

So in that way progress has been going backwards.
