My desktop and laptop have them and they're mid-high end but not upper high end.

Also, I'm suspecting you're not a Spanish speaker, so I guess it's okay to discount a channel that over 10% of the US has utility for.
Cable TV is a relatively recent invention, has quickly declining subscription rates, and has always been billed as premium.
An internet connection with youtube is $30 which is WAY more variety than "back then".
Televisions were prohibitively priced as to make one even a stretch.
And, travel was prohibitively priced so that only the ultra-rich could afford planes. When cars hit the scene en masse, it brought rise to car trips.
So, I guess you're saying people aren't living within their means? But they weren't necessarily then either... And boy, I sure miss all of the great stuff from the 50s.
