Technology Goes Backwards.

Posted On November 6th, 2007 under Light Side

Logic states that something that is better should cost more than something that is worse, However, when Technology is envolved, things go backwards. this is more evident in the PC industry world, take for example this hard disk from the early years of computers:

10 MB Hard disk for only $3398! What a bargain!, you could also get the 5 MB drive for only $2898 :P

    Loooooooooooooooooooool! Where did you get that man?!

    The first PC I’ve bought was in 1995 or earlier, it was an Intel Pentium I, 133 MHZ, 1 GB of hard disk space, CD Drive (was a WOW!), and as I remember 8 MB of RAM or at most 16 MB. I think there is no need to list the rest! Its cost was JOD 1000. Amazing how computer (Tech) markets are evolving…

    Awartany, I know, the first PC i bought was a Leo 386, 25 MHz, 2 MB RAM, 50 MB HDD, No CD-ROM, NO sound card, ran DOS (naturally), and it cost me around 1300 JD, imagine what kind of PC i can build with that amount of money these days :)
