The point is that tech is an unusual industry that actually thrives on an economic model of continuing lower cost/ increased performance products. Its like the travel industry in a way. Before jet airliners or the highway system for that matter, the thought of a middle class market was impossible. Cheap tickets expanded travel... excess capacity, Moore's law of cheap processing for the masses is giving computing access and has created a whole new world that was inconceivable twenty years ago. The trend to making a Pentium V with a gig of ram with broadband connections as common as a TV or telephone is inevitable... when I hear that DRAM pricing is falling or that Intel is slashing prices by 40%, it confirms a healthy future and market because it lowers the cost of entry to the bottom of the economic pyramid where expanding volumes creates demand and new applications.
