This is your reminder that for the past 40 years the price of consumer electronics underwent roughly 10% compound *deflation* year by year.
An entry level Android or iPhone is every non-shooty-bang-or-transportation James Bond gadget rolled into one for the inflation-adjusted cost of a 35mm film SLR or a Commodore 64 back in 1984.
It's also much more powerful than every supercomputer on the planet back then, in combination.
And it's in your pocket.
