There are many data devices now on the market. Hardware is relatively cheap. New apps that are used for software are being produced every day, probably even every hour, many at no cost at all. Combined hardware and software allows you to consume mounds of data. The hardware gets better & faster. The software gets smarter. Companies selling the hardware compete with each other by offering the lowest prices they can on hardware while crowing about how much data you can get, how fast, how convenient and how much fun.
These companies also sell you the plans that allow you to consume all that data, except there's a snag, a catch, a catch-22. Your data will now be capped. You will now be limited unless of course you pay more, Unless you pay a premium above and beyond. You were promised one thing and now that you're hooked, well, you have to pay just a little more. You've gotten that taste and now it's coursing through your brain and you must have more and more and more but the ante keeps going up. Now you're addicted so you pay. Sound familiar?
Interestingly enough, the futurists think that one day that access to the internet via a bot can be injected into a body and the protoplasm in the brain can act as a device and synapses can be programmed and the result of that will become part of the anatomy and another what is it 6th or 7th sense? will be available to be turned on. A switch in the brain will be turned on and off by internet providers. And if you want it turned on, you'll have to pay. And if you want it turned off, well, no that isn't going to happen. Once turned on we are hooked. Turned off we are of no use so we die.
