Ten years ago I paid more than Rs. 10 per minute for an STD call today I pay Rs. 1-2. 15 years ago a typical *nix workstation cost in excess of Rs. 12 Lakhs and it came without any compilers or worthwile software except the O/S. 20 years ago a dozen apples cost about Rs. 20 or less whereas today you would be lucky to get one or two!
