The average global price for hard drives increased by 28% at the end of 2011 and experts estimate the prices will decline by 12% every year.
The hard drive industry will have to spend around $1 billion dollars to build new manufacturing plants therefore causes the price to stay inflated.
So, we send companies overseas for cheaper labor to build stuff the US wants to buy--and now it will be more expensive. I wonder what the cost would be overall if we'd leave well enough alone with sending companies overseas. Also, I wonder if doing that cuts back on how much is invented in those countries--like, are we hindering the process for us to find bigger and better things?
