The only difference being image clarity, 3D? Yes it's improved since then, but so does everything we create. The underlying technology hasn't changed that much. By this logic we should continue to pay 1950s prices for a TV because a cathoray tube today is different from a cathoray tube from 1950. What's interesting about our TVs, VCRs, computers, etc is that not only do they get better, but they get cheaper too. Ever noticed how LED and plasma TVs existed before 2006, but it wasn't until their price dropped below a certain level that everyone started getting them? Point being that these technologies have to come down in price before we can scale them to a large audience. Right now they cost way too much, and are not available to a large enough audience to really start making health care better overall. Lowering disease prevalence, raising life expectancy, etc.
