Sort of.. on the other hand we switching cars, computers, phones so fast that many things are rarely owned for more than a few years.
We never owned the means production. But in this information age the means of production seem less and less important. You can also always find a manufacturer for your product.

Seems to me we're moving towards a society where people are exploited not just for the labour, but their very existence. You live to pay rents and subscriptions.
