     The affluenzic society manages to commodify experiences that were previously some of life's freest and most shareable goods. This atrophy of higher human capacities is one of the great harms of the affluenzic society, which provides a host of gadgets and commodities on which to focus consumer desires and hopes that are inflated and deranged by intense marketing and advertising.
