what does this mean in terms of the interrelationship of supply, price, and demand on two items of your choice. Maybe it’s a Christmas that a child really wants but that most stores no longer have in stock. Or it might be a piece of clothing that you bought last year and now want to replace it but which is hard to find or twice as expensive as what it was last year.

- As more and more people bought home computers during the 1990s, the demand for access to the World Wide Web and the Internet increased sharply. At same time, new companies like Earl’s began to enter the internet-access market competing with older, more established services such as American Online. Despite a massive increase in demand, the price of access to the Web actually declined.
