New technology created a demand for new products.
Explanation: The Reagan-era economic expansion, along with tax cuts and deregulation, spurred investment and consumer spending. That helped growth in high‑tech industries (personal computers, consumer electronics, software, etc.), creating markets for many new products. The other choices are incorrect: environmental programs were not expanded under Reagan, many social programs saw cuts rather than increased funding, and AIDS became a growing social crisis in the 1980s, not less of a problem.
