Over time, the price of computer memory would began to fall and storage capacity increase.

And government regulations and interference had nothing to do with this. Amazing how things get better when the government stays out of the way.

My dad worked for AT&T, I think we may still have a hexadecimal “computer” in the attic with the 4004 cpu.
