Almost everything has seen significant improvements. Technology has improved at an astounding rate. The only down side of improvement is higher expenses for more complicated tech. Phones are so much better than they used to be. We don't have to carry a brick anymore but they cost a fortune now

Heh. It's funny to me that what one considers a regression others may see as an improvement.

Btw, prices actually went down (unless you're buying the latest iphone). It only makes sense, since the easier the production gets and the more efficient the technology gets, the cheaper it is to buy said technology. See https://www.timetoast.com/timelines/history-of-cellphones-prices
