an expense nobody thought about just 15 years ago. And why? Because everybody else was doing it. It's coming back down now, but you had and still have people paying that much. Still, how many families are spending $200+ for cell phones, an expense mom and dad never dreamed of?
I think the price is going to go up for a while before it "comes back down". At that point, whatever it comes back down to will seem cheap even thought it's still more expensive than what we pay today.
