It takes many different types of resources to make electronics; this may include different metals, silica’s, polymers, resins and plastics. As time progress though, the electronics change according to Moore's law in that the number of components in integrated circuits doubled every year. This means that chip components in electronics continually get more powerful yet shrink on size at the same time. The smaller the component the less resources it takes to produce it, in turn lowering the price. Another reason for the price of electronics going
