The first mobile phone bought in my family was the size of a brick and about the same weight, too. We've still got it lying around. Today there are mobile phones about the same size and weight as a sheet of paper that has been folded a few times.

Technology costs too much

Pfft, to stay with technology a bit.
I played the arcade game Commando with a Commodore 64 and cassette tapes... ;)
(the tape made some strange noises at times, you had to rewind and fastforward to find the game software)
Also bought a lot of VHS tapes (even import) to watch my favorite series at the time, boy the advance of the internet and related technology was my savior...

I remember when we got 8-bit NES. It was so cool back then. Of course it's a lot cooler now! And it's still working. Good old SuperMario bros beats crap out of any ps3/xbox360 game ;)

I remember my NES... still have it in fact!
But being even older than remembering that, I now have a 22" Touch-Screen, Quad Core Intel PC and yet I started off with a Spectrum 64k. It had rubber keys which I hooked up to the 14" colour tv in my room and a portable tape deck in order to load any programs I needed.
I also remember having a 28k modem that dialed up at 1p per minute and thinking how fast it was... now I have 30GB broadband thinking how slow this is...
The only thing that seems to be getting any slower as time moves on is me... but not by much ;D
