If we could create something in the $20-$30 range, what you'd have essentially is a "disposable" computer. I can imagine a future in which there are two strata of computers. Large-scale "personal" computers -- your computer, set up the way you want, with everything stored locally. And small disposable computers which are cheap and ubiquitous, that you use for as long as it functions and then throw in the trash and buy a new one.
