Besides, what is "fair"?
"I worked for it so I get to keep it."
"I 'need' it so I should get it, regardless of whether or not I worked for it."
(Note that "need" is also a subjective term. In fact, in the U.S. we are actually regulated into "needing" things that we really don't.)

I don't know who said it but I heard a saying once that "a luxury, once sampled, becomes a necessity."

Sounds about right. I, for one, "can't live" without my smartphone

I know what you mean. I just spent 2 hours trying to figure out what happened to my cellular data connection ..... still don't know what happened or why.
