TV is cheap because you are the product. CEOs want you to see their ads, their propaganda.

Gas is expensive because they have not yet found a way to stop car-owner from leaving the sofa in front of TV

Tvs are cheap because manufacturing costs came down. They were cheap before they were smart

  Both are true. Manufacturing costs went down significantly, but non-smart TVs are bow more expensive than smart TVs bu over $100.

Car companies could learn a lot from the printer industry.

  If production of cars and oil were the same companies, cars would be as cheap as TVs and gas for them would be 10x current price.
