As anyone who has ever tried replacing an SMD resistor will tell you; these things are focking small !

And did you know that there is now a sub-SMD format that almost only robots can handle (or Swiss watchmakers ) ?
As demonstrated in the picture below, where the bigger rectangle shaped capacitors are "standard" SMD size and the resistors (with numbers printed on them) are the new smaller size no bigger than about 10 grains of table salt :

There is (was?) a package called "hybrid" that used components of that scale. Mostly used in military, medical, or high precision measurement equipment, now can be found in consumer devices.
