What you have to realize is that, while 30 years ago only the rich could afford computers, now the poor can afford the exact same one. In fact, the field has leveled so much, that the rich can't get more bang for their buck. I spent $2,500 on a maxed out MBA, but my super rich friend can't spend $25,000 or $250,000 to get something better. Same goes for iPads, iPods, iPhones, anything in technology. Another example is Gmail. It's free, and arguably it's the best there is. Rich businessman are stuck in email for most of the day, but they can't do better what I get for free in Gmail. (In fact, they're probably using suckier corporate email.) It's not food, it's not medicine, but this phenomenon is still pretty notable if you ask me.
