Does anyone know how fast the computer processor technology is moving? A couple of years ago, I was told by a friend with a Bachelor's in Engineering that computers 2 years old are actually 5 to 10 years old in comparison to the new technology.
Second, with the ongoing rapid evolution of computer technology, is it self sustainable meaning will it be able to be priced down to a reasonable level, in a possible 10 year US and global recession starting with the onset of the mortgage crisis in 2007, in order to have an acceptable market entry price?
Finally, what is the point of a company putting out new and better products year-after-year if their traditional customer base(s) is shrinking to a degree where it makes the price for the product in their emerging economies customer base too much?
In simpler terms, are Intel, AMD and the like letting the tech nerds drive the products to a point where the company is constantly getting too much ahead of themselves in putting out products that no one will be able to afford brand new?
