“Though the computer hardware industry was once booming, in recent years the industry has experienced a decrease in profits. Most of this is due to the downturn in the economy and a decrease in consumer confidence and spending. The decrease in profits is also due to a decreased need of consumers to upgrade. The technology that computers provide is not growing at the rate that it once was which means that consumers can continue to use older computers to meet their needs.”
