I do question whether kids are actually growing up used to paying for everything, though. I think they are more used to not understanding how much these things cost. Sort of like ring tones and text messaging on cell phones; they see what was bought but not the frustrating end result, which their parents get. Once you pay for that stuff yourself, you know how little so much of it is worth and don't pay for it. Paying four dollars a month so my phone plays Kanye West is ridiculous to me, but maybe not to a kid who has a phone. Same goes for pay-for-it Internet walls. In all but a few places, I'll be able to find that stuff elsewhere for free, so why would I pay for it?
