You need to look at the historic value of money, though. $1 in 1970 had the same purchasing power as somewhere between $6 and $16 in today's money, depending what criteria you use to measure it ($6 if you purely consider inflation; $16 if you consider the increase in average incomes). See:

How many of your ebooks have you spent more than $16 on?
