A wave of commodification has swept over Great Britain
in this new age of entrepreneurship and small businesses new unexpected commodification of everyday objects are everywhere

a chair is not always a chair – chair quote
To understand the concept of a commodity, consider a chair. It is a commodity if the chair is a tradable product of human work possessing a social use-value. By contrast, a fallen log of deadwood sat upon in the forest is not a commodity, as it was not produced by human work for the purpose of trade. A chair created by a hobbyist as a gift to someone is not a commodity. Nor is a chair a commodity (as a chair) if its only use would be as firewood (unless one purchases a chair specifically to chop it up for firewood). A chair that nothing could sit on, has no use-value, and cannot be a commodity. An ornamental chair might yet however, have value.
industrial society
accept we are an industrial society, 4 out of 5 British citizens now own a smartphone or tablet and 88% of Brits are unable to cope when their wifi connection doesn’t function for more than approximately five minutes. our society is driven by the use of technology to enable mass production, supporting our large and ever growing population with a high capacity for division of labour.
