With the recent hardfork of RingCT there has been talk about the transaction sizes increasing to 25kb on average which is a lot more than before.

My question is how does that affect people? Does it affect greatly people who run a full node? Does it mean that the blockchain is going to be too big for most computers? Should the majority of people who have a wallet care about this and if so why?

Currently, it only affect fees, which are a little higher. In term of disk space, it is negligible (current blockchain size is ~10GB).

The little overhead for network traffic should largely be compensated by fluffy blocks.

Blockchain size is only one factor. What affects people who run a full node is CONOP.
