It is true about calculator technology being so inexpensive compared to what it was in the beginning. To bad the same principle doesn't apply to much of anything else, like cars or firearms. Wouldn't mind buying a good Sig Saur for $20. I'd even give $50. Haha.
It is true about firearms, Compare what a handmade firearm cost in manhours worked back in the 17/1800's to what one cose today. It's my understanding a Hawkin Rifle from tyhe Hawkin Shop went out the door for what back then was a years wages, and that was a workings man's firearm.

Now cars are a different animal as they are still to this day elvolving and adding more and more options to them.
