Is this what happens when I buy a box of cereal for $4 in 2014, and the same box of cereal for $4 in 2024, but the contents weigh 20% less in 2024?
the only thing that hasn't shrunk seems to be tech. my current laptop is a 14nm+++ Intel chip that cost 1k when i bought it. the same 1k can get you a Intel 7 or TSMC 5nm AMD ryzen. Same money, but better cpu.
(Although in some cases still smaller)
