Today's $60 1TB drive would have cost $1 trillion in the 1950's

"And a modern-day 4GB stick of RAM would have cost $32 billion."

Computer History Museum to highlight storage, from RAMAC to microdrives

Thats incredible, one thing is for sure though TV's and computers themselves seem to stay relatively stable in price. What the manufacturers do though is slow bleed technology onto the market; proccessors speed, memory etc etc they could easily give us much more now but they slowly go fromm 500mg to 1 gb to 2 gb and so on. I think there should be regulation of technology as there is drugs so that we get the technology these companies; microsoft etc have today right now. As it is we will only get what they have today in years to come

That ridiculous. It shows you how technology is changing daily and how we're going right through mile stones with new innovative pieces of technology. Pretty soon 1TB would be a laughing matter.

Regulation of drugs? Confused by what you mean.
