Honestly, who cares. A ton of modern inventions would've cost way more money in 1956. I'm not gonna go to the store and say, wow this microwave would've cost millions in the 50s, that's a super reasonable price. Compare 2017 phone prices to other 2017 phones.

Our quality of life in the first world changes for the better somewhat, but we had 150 trillion dollar equivalent devices we carry around? I also think one of the comments is interesting, that indoor plumbing is so cheap but provides such an insanely greater improvement to QoL.
