Years ago, no one “needed” a cell phone, computer, internet service, cable TV, Starbucks, etc. Now, almost everyone “needs” these things. No wonder no one has any money.

Yeah, well, my mother does not currently have a computer and guess what happened when she needed to shop for (and buy) a plane ticket two weeks ago? She needed to find someone with a computer to do it for her.
We got our first computer in 1998 and things have changed a lot since then. I am the ONLY person in my circle with a house phone. Everyone else uses cellphones only. We *did* have cable 25 years ago and most people had it. (Except for those who used rabbit ears.) Now we have satellite.
Everyone *does* need a phone and cells are now cheaper than land lines. Internet is now more important than TV and many people no longer subscribe to cable. (We’re about to cut that cord, too)
Yep. My family has phones & Hugh-speed internet because we can afford it. They will be the first to go in a pinch.
