Deflation isn't all bad. In the electronics industry, it means prices go down and quality goes up with time. People buy anyway.

I hear that economists dread deflation. "Heaven forbid, consumerism might slow down and put folks out of work as people postpone purchasing to wait for lower prices."

The electronics industry has thrived in spite of deflation there. Computing prices come down, but people still buy cause the new stuff is more powerful than the old stuff. Imagine that, lower prices and better products to boot.
