TODO: Write it

"Consumer technology" meaning that the technology was generally available to the public for a reasonable cost. The Concorde example stretches this definition, but I'm leaving it.

Examples:
* '''Photography''' was cheaper but worse quality in the late 90s and early 2000s
* '''Music sound quality''' dropped in the late 90s and early 2000s because people used peer-to-peer networks to download 128kbps MP3s, rather than CDs.
