So OK I remember when my 'mobile phone' weighed in at 3.5Kg - so like many on here have seen the rise and rise of the mobile phone / social (?) media devices and lament the lack of understanding shown by todays youth of the term social or indeed sociable.
The other thing I lament is the change in business pricing.
Originally stuff got made, there were costs for materials and development, people got paid wages, and in the chain from manufacturer to punter a bit of profit got added but essentially the pricing was 'cost plus'
Now we have a new business model, which involved target and discussion groups and panels deciding the maximum price that can be extracted for a product. hence the Apple iPhone X at £999........ and Apple will have worked out very carefully the number of their customers who will say 'enough is enough' - I dropped out at iPhone 5 - and the pricing is a balance of those who will pay and those that wont yet pay.
Its a funny old world
