If computer designers focused entirely on speed and ignored cost implications, what would the computer industry look like today? Who would the customers be? Now consider the same question reversed: If the only consideration was cost what would the industry be like?

What will be an ideal response?

If computers were designed focused entirely on speed and ignored cost implications, the computer industry would only produce supercomputers with infinite processing power, and the consumers would only be large organizations with lots of money that have a lot of data to process, like the government and large universities and companies. However, if computers designed focused entirely on cost, computers would be slow and clunky, not-helpful and inefficient, with a very limited set of operations and the least amount of hardware used as possible, with the consumers being people only doing really simple operations, like students.
