Increased commodization reduces prices to a point where the value of most objects is reduced to very low levels. We've seen that with PCUs and other hi tech components. It tends to take value away from most products. As products have less value, owning them will not have the allure they once did.

Sure CPU and computer prices go down, but that just gives you more resources to spend on other things. The value of all the goods and services a typical person can buy goes up over time.

Also does the fact that you paid less for your computer mean that you wouldn't object if people took it away from you or if everyone on this thread got an equal vote in determining how it would be used today, instead of you deciding yourself?
