Actually in some ways it is getting easier (for the geeks, anyway):

* adblock - no stupid commercials for fastfood places, etc * Downloaded tv (whether brought from iTunes or downloaded from thepiratebay.org) doesn't contain commercials.

Add that a personal mp3 player means you are less likely to hear radio and it becomes that much more difficult to sell you stuff.

Which you really shoudn't eat.

But sure I spend more on electronics than I used to.
