With decreasing cost of mass storage, automatic full-text indexing capability has been incorporated routinely into state-of-the-art information-management software.
On the technological side, there is the increasing ease and decreasing cost of adapting technologies like USB, the low-voltage computer networking connection; the global positioning system; and Bluetooth to almost any use.
And while the rapidly decreasing cost of previously expensive technical procedures has opened up new directions for research, there is also increasing pressure for researchers to cut costs and deliver results.
It's like decreasing cost of travel.
Like the tech industry, the renewables market has waxed and waned, but the constantly decreasing cost of technology drives both forward.
Most of the digital innovations that have transformed our lives have been logical outgrowth of increasing power and decreasing cost of semiconductors.
Also, decreasing cost of solar and wind energy systems are balanced by incentive and general energy demand and prices.
Due to the rapidly decreasing cost of sensors and computational power, the MatterFab machine was built to offer up metal 3D printing at an order of magnitude lower than other products that are available to manufacturers today.
With decreasing cost of escape, the impact of recombination on the emergence of escape variants increased markedly.
Despite the decreasing cost of complete genome sequencing, this method is cost-prohibitive given that thousands of clinical isolates will need to be sequenced for epidemiologic purposes.
Despite the ever-increasing throughput and steadily decreasing cost of next generation sequencing (NGS), whole genome sequencing of humans is still not a viable option for the majority of genetics laboratories.
