I'm thinking of my mom watching this as she celebrates the one month birthday of me, and thinks about all that stuff she won't be able to afford anymore.

The good old days, when between the RCA stereo and the camera, about $50k in today's dollars would have gotten you less than a cheap cellphone can do.
