What income level families can afford computers?

Question by JB:

What income level families can afford computers?

I'm doing research on Peterborough, Ontario and families affordability when it comes to computers. (But this can be looked at from an North American family POV) As the age of technology is advancing, some technology is become cheaper. What the bottom line is, I would like to know what class of family can afford computers. Where is the affordability line drawn? Which of the following options below would you say is the minimum for the ability for a family to afford the cost of a computer? (I know some figure below are obvious that those types of families can afford a computer, but I want to know WHERE does the get drawn?) What is the exact, absolute minimum income of a family to be able to afford a computer.

I suppose that this question could be asked on any global scale, but at least in North America. What do you think personally? What do you know through a research? (if you do find a helpful site for me, please post it!)

Persons with income of ,000 and over

Um... I have owned several personal desktops and one laptop making under 15,000.

Not all at once of course. I mean to say each time I have purchased a new computer my income was under 15,000 gross a year.

Mainly I can afford this because I do not have to pay property taxes since I rent and also because I do not have debt that requires me to use my income tax return. So I can use my income tax return towards new purchases.

Dunno if this helps at all but I thought I would offer the info.
