I have it from a reputable source that the reason stuff doesn't get smaller in the future is it's too easy for humans to set your 1" X 1" tricorder down and forget where you laid it.
And because no one has pockets in their uniforms there is no place to put your stuff.
So 85 Psychiatrists, 32 Behavioral Scientists, and 168 Engineers, in a study that lasted 8 years, concluded that no piece of equipment aboard a Star Ship would be smaller than a tribble. It only makes sense because you know how hard it was to lose one of those.

I've heard the analogy that if auto technology had developed like computer tech, cars would only cost one dollar and get 1 million miles a gallon. Of course, they would all be the size of Matchbox cars.
Although that tricorder may not be very small, it probably has way more computing ability that our largest current megacomputer.
And yeah, they didn't get dirty doing maintenance on the Enterprise. The only person to ever get dirty was Kirk on a planet, and he usually ripped his shirt too.

Oooooh yeah...and when Kirk went down to a planet, getting dirty was the one thing on his mind....

Reminds me of Tim Allen's character in the movie "Galaxy Quest".
