Admit it. Whenever you get home from the store and finally unbox that new gadget, you have two driving impulses: (1) “I can’t wait to jump in and play with this thing!” and (2) “I can’t wait to show this sucker off!”
Flaunting material possessions is one way we humans solidify our place in the social hierarchy. If we have the means to possess these sought-after (read: “expensive”) things, then we can feel validation in the fact that we’ve really made it. This braggart’s MacGuffin can take many forms, be it vintage European cars; fine handcrafted jewelry; or, yes, even the latest and greatest electronic gizma-ba-dizzle.
DATA: What are your neighbors spending on electronics?
But sometimes parading the latest must-have device isn’t quite showy enough and the bragging ante must be raised. To cater to the legitimacy-craving individuals of means, a whole industry has risen to provide super ultra-premium electronic accessories. For a small population of global elites, no cost is too high to possess the most extreme, expensive, and needlessly gaudy electronic enhancement.
