Sure, we in Australia have taken to all the innovations but for pay tv. Children have music systems, phones, tvs, cd players etc. A big trend here is fashion clothing for children usually 8 to 12 year-old girls.
So many adults seem to be caught up in two incomes and rush rush rush to do the necessary other things -- shopping, ironing, cleaning, washing and gardening. The cost structure here is that many families need one and a half incomes, we do quite ok with my wife Shirley working part-time, whereas it would be a terrible life-style if she worked full-time.
I'm in the month of information nights and testing for courses for next year, hoping to get into nursing at a College, a lower level course is likely. It was Box Hill tonight where there are over 500 applicants for 25 places, I'll have to do very well at the testing.
