Is there anything you wanted as a child that you can now get free?

For MSE Stephen B, it's the 'Now That's What I Call Music' compilation albums.
"When I was younger, getting a Now [INSERT YEAR] CD was the epitome of life and I would play it to death (and it meant I didn't need to record off the radio). So I've recently been going through all the Now playlists on Spotify and loving it."
Others in the office mentioned magazines (Glamour, Stylist, NME) which either became free in later years, went online-only or offered a decent e-newsletter alternative.
What about you? Is there anything as a child you always wanted which you can now get freely?

Saying that I would rather have 90s prices for homes and phone calls than current prices for homes and phones!
Being able to phone abroad is great - but housing is more necessary!
