Which means they are commodities. So dumbed down just like bread. Remember when bread was so complicated? All that grinding and mixing and baking. DVD is no longer high tech. It sells and is used just like bread. Just another commodity. And just like specialty breads sold in high end stores, DVD is a status symbol; especially when Carrie already has one.

There is nothing high tech about DVDs or plasma screens. They are now commodities. Even sold by Circuit City salesman who don't even know how electricity works. Just a commodity that brings social status.
