Bit Rates and there impact over time.
Eg: A 1 Kilo bit channel will transfer, 1024 bits / second, 61440 bits / minute, 3686400 bits / hour, and 88473600 bits / day.
Note: This is ignoreing some of the finer details, like Stop Bits and Start Bits, frameing overhead, protocal overhead and the like. In short, you should never expect to see these sorts of data rates in a good effectively utilized way... only in bad horribly overburdened ways.
Note2: Price is based on cost of disk storage. Currently about $ 0.3 USD (early 2006)

This next table is rather simple. Along the left hand side is a list of different things and there costs. The right two colums are is how much that thing costs as a fraction of monthly or yearly average US family income. For this annalysis the average US faimily income is $ 66,863 USD.
For example:
Example 1: An M16a2 rifle costs about $ 586. The average US family monthly income is aproximately (66,863 / 12) = $ 5572 . Income / cost = .108 Every month, if a family decided not to eat, they could by 9 M16a2 rifles. Example 2: A B2 bomber costs about $ 2.1 Billion dollars. The Average US familys yearly income is aproximately 66,863. Income / Cost = 31,407.505 It takes the full yearly income of 31,408 fammilies to purchase a single b2 bomber. Example 3: Cost of an average American house $ 150,000. $ 150,000 / 5572 = 26.921 It would take about 27 months of income for the average family to pay for an average house. They would however be rather hungry after not eathing for a little more than two years, this also does not take into acount taxes.
