Four Fundamental Laws of Technology

I have formulated the Four Fundamental Laws of Technology over the last few decades. These laws are based on my own research which I financed myself. They should guide how you view technology now and in the future. The Four Fundamental Laws of Technology are:

• When a technology is first introduced it will be crappy and expensive.
  
• As the technology improves, the price will drop.
  
• When the technology is at or near perfection, the technology will become affordable.
  
• When the technology becomes affordable it will soon be obsolete.

Based on my own research and personal experience these laws are true for every type of consumer electronic equipment that has been made in the last 100 years. Take the VCR for example. In the late 1980's you could get a low-end VCR for around $500. Single head, wired remote and push button channel changer. Now you can buy an all digital model, 4-head, hi-fi, VCR with wireless remote for well under $100. Better picture quality, better sound, and much cheaper that in years gone by(proving the first three laws). Of course now that DVD are common place the VCR is nearly obsolete (proving the last law).

The only solace I take in sharing these laws with you is that's my brother-in-law just paid three grand for a 42-inch plasma TV. I can't wait until next year.
