Has The Recession Affected Technology Prices?
<p>We seem to be under the impression that everything is getting more and more expensive because
of the ongoing talk of recession. But let’s compare the prices of the most popular electronics from 30
years ago and then again today to see what’s really happening.
<p>Game Consoles:
In 1977, an Atari 2600 was $200 (£127), the equivalent of what today would be $589 (£376).
Today, a Nintendo Wii is only $200 (£127).
<p>Mobile Phones:
<p>In 1983, a DynaTAC 8000x was $4,000 (£2,557.54), the equivalent of what today would be
$8,589 (£5,491.69).
<p>Today, an Apple iPhone is only $499 (£319.05).
<p>Television Sets:
<p>In 1979, a JVC 19” Colour TV was $560 (£358.06), the equivalent of what today would be
$1,650 (£1,054.99).
<p>Today, a Samsung 50” Plasma HDTV is only $899 (£574.81).
<p>So the results suggest that we can’t really complain, after all! To find more comparisons, check
out http://www.intac.net/the-cost-of-technology/.
<p>Furthermore, this infers that technology is something that is becoming more and more instated
within everyday life – something that is openly available to everyone and anyone. Make sure your
website is online today with Dhalco.
