Core memory used to cost $0.01 per bit. Consider your own computer. What would be a rough estimate of the cost if memory cost is $0.01/bit? If memory were still at that price what would be the effect on the computer industry?

What will be an ideal response?


My laptop has 4 GB memory or 32 Gbits

Roughly: 32,000,000,000 bits

@ $0.01/bit

$320,000,000.00

My laptop would cost over 320 million dollars.

This would dramatically shrink the industry!
