    Phones: consumer product=form over function
    Cars: consumer product=form over function
    Gaming Consoles: consumer product=form over function
    Home Computers: consumer product=form over function
    Spacecraft: tool=function over form. Also the most expensive thing on the list by far.

    Consoles: Atari didn’t get your credit card information stolen.
    Computers: The Air represents a fundamental devolution in functionality, features and power.

    If space travel was profitable, how long would it be before we had an iShuttle? I’m guessing about 10 years, tops.

    The tenth panel should have been this: agent3155.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/virgin_galactic2.jpg

    Don’t forget that the groundwork for computers, the internet, cell phones and even many parts of cars (like automatic transmissions, developed for tanks) started with government development projects. Private industry took over once the practicality of the concept was proven.
