How long did that trend last, though? It sounds to me a bit like the way people who've grown up during a famine often keep heavily stocked food stores at all times. Barring industry-driven changes like video streaming and other content delivery mechanisms, I bet the average 18-year-old downloads far less today than the average 18-year-old a decade ago. Why download and store everything when you can just get it later if you need it?
(On the flip side it's always funny when driving with younger colleagues and they announce that the music might get choppy because mobile reception is patchy. I tend to explain in a Princess Bride grandpa voice about how once upon a time Spotify was called mp3s and it worked even without mobile data.)
