Consumer Joy at Continuously Dropping Tech Prices

Most everything in society forever goes up in price over time. But not technology. It's on a constant vector downward in price. This became glaringly apparent with the new NCIX weekly newsletter I just received. Here's an example:
This 4GB Flash memory card is just $13.99, but with the available $10.00 manufacturer's mail-in rebate, it's just $3.99. Just a year ago, such a card was MUCH more expensive!

Wouldn't it be nice if everything else in life dropped in price this way?!
