>>As implied in my earlier post today, chip prices will continue to come down. Chip usage and uses will continue to proliferate. <<

I'd phrase this even more strongly: *Because* chip prices continue to come down, chip uses will continue to proliferate.

Cheap transistors give designers room to exercise their imaginations. You can design a $50 microprocessor into many more gadgets than a $500 microprocessor. You can sell a $50 microprocessor to people who couldn't dream of affording a $500 microprocessor.
