that's a pretty objective statement to make.
cellphones actually cost more these days because they put more junk in them and as a result, they break more often and need replaced (i.e. rebought) more often. when i think of the old nokia and bt cellnet bricks, they were dirt cheap and you could drop one off a building and it'd come off better than the pavement.
computers have come down i'll give you that, as have tv's but they have much shorter shelf lives.
even ignoring those facts as mike pointed out, your healthcare system isn't exactly the shinign example of capitalism at its finest and i really doubt schools would be any different, more to the point i wouldn't want schools used as a test area for this theory in the 1st place.
