Atlantic/Business: How Information is Actually Getting More Expensive.

“Every year the average American spends $1000 a year on services like cable, Internet and video games. Add another $1000 for cell phone services, writes NYT’s Jenna Wortham, and ‘the average family is spending as much on entertainment over devices as they are on dining out or buying gasoline.’ Actually, $2000 a year to carry the world in your laptop and your phone could be the low end for real tech junkies.”  Add the hardware upgrades (new TVs, new cellphones, new computers, new ... whatevers), and you have quite a bit more than that.
