True but hasn't been the trend in digital electronic market, maybe baseball
cards and sneakers.
A computer 6 months ago was 2x the price and half the power, same thing with
LCD screens.
2 years ago I paid $899 for a 19'' flat LCD Samsung screen for my PC, Now I
can get a 22" Wide screen
Samsung for under $250. See my point?
Same with storage, in 1992 I paid $1299 for a SCSI 4 GB Hard drive for my
Amiga!
I needed 2 of them to edit video on my NewTek Toaster Flyer.
Or was it 20 MB? Yes, Megabyte not Giga, lol I can't remember now.
But you can get a SATA2-500GB now for under $200, again see the trend.
Same with Cell phones, smaller, better and cheaper, all electronics
basically double in performance and
decrease in price every 6 months, cycles. So figure 3 more years, yeah $500
for a Plasma is about right
with many more features than todays HDTV screens.
Or how else will they entice you to buy a new set, since you already have
one? Psychology.
People can't pass up a great bargain even if they DON'T need it.
So by making something better and cheaper than you remember paying for
something, it causes people who don't even need that replacement to go ahead
and buy a NEW one anyway. Make sense?

Yeah, and my Dad rode the subway for a nickel but that's NOT electronics.

Well, I said 4D cause 3D is the big BUZZ word today, like 3D comb filter, so
in 3 more years, they will have to
start spewing NEW buzz words, I figure 4D is just progression, like SSE2 and
SSE3....
Who knows what the 4th dimension will be? But I bet it sells a lot to
everyone that only has a 3D filter, LOL

Why wouldn't you think people invent things that make life easier?
Do you still use a wash roller or a washing machine?
A coal pot belly stove or a microwave? A crank phone or the internet?
Life is always about making things easier for lazy people, lol....
So reading my daily e-mail or newsfeed directly on an a large HD Plasma in
my livingroom directly off a cable company server on a DVR type device built
into the TV set and maybe rented each month? So it's cheaper than
$500...they can offer a free system if you sign up to HD internet Cable &
phone for 3 years, why not?
Come on man!! Have some vision! Imagination and YES SPECULATION.
Because we might all die tomorrow from a natural disaster, no one knows the
future. Our entire world existing tomorrow as we know it is pure
speculation.
