I’ve come to expect everything for free.
I was explaining to my kids the other night how long distance phone calls and ballpoint pens used to be fairly pricey items that you didn’t take for granted.
And what is now a google search used to require a trip to the library, and once you found your info in a reference book you had to pay to make a copy of the page because your phone not only didn’t have a camera, it was wired into the wall back home.
They looked at me like the dinosaur I am.
