In addition, there are many commodities that have not increased in price for decades, such as postal express, mobile phone charges, televisions, laptops, buses and so on. Among them, the price of postal express delivery is still 22 yuan, and the cost of mobile phone is much cheaper. It used to be 45 cents a minute. Now most urban areas have achieved the same price as local telephone charges. With the development of technology, the price of TV sets has also dropped a lot. 10 More than 3,999 yuan used to buy a 47-inch LCD TV, but now about 2,500 yuan can buy a 55-inch TV. The price of notebook computers is also much cheaper. Basically, you can buy a laptop with a medium configuration for three or four thousand yuan. Bus prices have not gone up either. Buses in many cities used to be 2 yuan money more than ten years ago, and now they are still 2 yuan money.
The reasons why these commodities have not increased in price are also different, but they are generally related to technological progress, economic development and efficiency improvement. The production costs of postal express, TV sets, notebook computers and other commodities are reduced, and they are also in the market competition, and the prices will not rise with time. For public transport such as buses, the price remains unchanged, on the one hand, to take care of the travel needs of the people, on the other hand, it is also the embodiment of the government's pricing strategy.
In a word, whether commodity prices rise or not depends on market demand, technological progress, production efficiency and many other factors. Today, with the rising prices of many commodities, those commodities that have not increased prices for decades can better reflect their benefits and conscience.
