Gadgets for Grads Through the Decades: An Infographic

Have you ever wondered how much that sweet, gigantic phone Zack Morris carried around in Saved by the Bell would cost in 2013 dollars adjusted for inflation? What about an old school Compaq computer from 1993 with 20MB of RAM? What about a Sony Walkman? We know you used to rock out with your killer CD collection.

We checked out popular gadgets for grads across the decades from 1983 to 2013, and found that when you adjust these costs to today’s dollars, it actually now costs LESS for new grads to set themselves up with electronic gizmos than it did in decades past. Even better, grads are not only spending way less, but they’re getting a ton more bang for their buck in terms of functionality.
