If a new technology gets too costly, will you live without it?

Example; If the majority of everyone buys cell phones, then nobody will bother investing in a company that makes the old wall phone.If cell phone bills become 2x the cost of old phone bills, you may not get to have any other option but to spend more each paycheck. Can you do without?

Technology tends to get cheaper and cheaper in price and that value is passed on to the consumer (sounds like I work for AT&T or something). It probably won't get substanially more expensive... if that's what you're wondering.

It all depends on what the technology is.RenegadePatriot

Good point.

I'll also include the dialup modem, cable/satellite TV subscriptions -or recently- thedigital signal converter for analog TVreception.

"It probably won't get substanially more expensive."- that part, right there. What if they do make it more expensive? That's what I should have put!:oops:
