    Technology. I guess it depends on how competitive the market is. Monopolies are bad for price and most tech is patent protected.

    In this last round of inflation we had high oil and other resource prices plus labor shortages and dislocations. Add on a lot of pent up demand and also not a lot of competition. None of this is very good for prices. On the other hand now inflation is under 2% in some locations though the national average is higher.
