Brazilian here. That is all very true. Except about the broadband, it's not that expensive (unless you are in a very remote location).

But you forgot to mention the electronics from 2007 sold at 4 times the price of modern ones.

Now you can all see why we are in love with the internet. It's the greener grass.
