Openness in Scientific Journals

I just wanted to start a discussion on this because it's really interesting to me.

As mentioned in my digiciv class, scientific journals were created to produce openness in science. However, now they are considered one of the worst examples of closed science. What changed?

My opinion is that we have changed our attitudes. We simply expect to get whatever information we want without paying a cent. Do you agree? Is it a good thing to insist on more open science or are we starting to get greedy?
