Well, cell phones have replaced landlines, and we had cable when I was a kid in the early 80s (not today's 500+ channels, mind you, but my parents still paid a cable bill every month). The only truly new expense is internet access, but I'd argue it's a net savings for many people. Without high speed internet access, I'd likely subscribe to a more expensive cable package for my entertainment needs. So instead of a $50 internet bill, I'd have a ~$100 cable bill.
