Did HVAC systems just shrink?

Everyone I know who just got brand new and completely up to date central heating and air conditioning systems seem to have much smaller heat and a/c units than what I always have been used to.

Did central heating and air conditioning systems just shrink? Or am I crazy? Or is this the way they are made these days.

I found out after doing some very curious research on the internet that yes, it is a fact that central heating and air conditioning systems are now made much more compact and light weight than what they were 10 years ago. Which that was about the time I bought my last central heating and air conditioning system unit. So I had no idea what they were making now days. Heating and air conditioning technology as well as how heating and air conditioning equipment are made is a whole new world today verses a decade ago. I find it both amusing and impressive that they can make an all so powerful and very nice central heating and air conditioning system these days inside a very small and light weight case! The thing is light enough for a single person to be able to move it instead of it needing 2 to 3 people to move the older central heating and air conditioning system units that I have known all of my life. HVAC technology never stops impressing me. I am sure that there are more amazing things just around the corner!
