From the manufacturing end of it, the costs have actually come down since the 80,s. I was in the cd manufacturing industry from mid 80,s to 2000. In the begining costs to manufacture disc where a very much higher than now. Equipment costs where huge, 4+ million for mastering and production line. Cycle times where also high at 7+ seconds with high reject rates 15+ % Raw material costs also hurt as the supplies fed a limited market. The only plus side was you could get almost $2 just to make one cd with 1 color printing. not including jewel case and paper.
In the mid 90,s everything dropped. Mastering and production line could be had for 1 mill. Cycle times dropped to high 3 to low 4 seconds with reject rates normally sub 1%. Raw material cost plumeted as suppliers now had new cometitors entering the market. What hurt was you could only get.20 -.30 to make one cd and customer expected 4 color printing and final assembly for that price.
Im sure pricing has only gotten worse for the manufacturers since I left in 2000. Especially the polycarbonate cost with the petroleum market so high.
Seems like usa isp's are doing only whats needed to stay competitive or whats needed to achieve larger market share. Instead of increasing thier offerings they are speading into new areas figuring why spend more when less will do.
"They had been let out of classes and were accompanied by their teachers"
Was he released from school free to leave to do whatever he wanted or was school still in session and students supervised by teachers while watching the event.
Was he accompanied by his teacher or supervised by his teacher.
In a nutshell was he on school time or his own time.
Its called return on investment. If a machine cost $250,000 and can sort the same amount of widgets as 25 employee's that machine will pay for itself very soon. Most likely the crane company is not selling that large a number of cranes per year that would justify automating the assembly process. The cheaper the widget the more automation is required, saving $.01 on a widget with a wholesale cost of $.40 is a lot of savings.
