HHLH Podcast Bonus Episodelet 016 – You Like Your Internet Devices Thank Capitalism

10 months ago

This bonus episodelet was a segment cut for content from Episode 029 – Why Capitalism? In this very short segment, Brett and Rob discuss how the price of mass storage has greatly dropped since the mid-1990s (and Brett even makes an allusion to the 1980s) because the free market controlled the prices, not the State. Even though the Internet is never mentioned, the only way that your devices became ubiquitous is due to the cheap price of mass storage. You can thank capitalism for the device on which you are listening to this episodelet.
