Dear smartphone companies, please give us smaller phones

Let's face it: Phones have gotten too large. 

Ever since the advent of the smartphone, the dimensions of our pocket-sized communication devices have increased at a rate that would suggest cargo pants are roaring back into style. Because before too long, that's the only place your fancy new phone will fit. 

And that's a problem. 

It's a problem that texting is now a two-handed affair. It's a problem, for that matter, that doing practically anything on a smartphone is a multi-handed exercise in balance and dexterity.
