When asked to go observe a computer lab or arcade I already knew that there was no place better to observe than the AACC computer lab. Summer or winter, rain or shine the lab always has students frantically writing and finishing projects in an attempt to get that C-. While observing the students I saw several things that displayed commodification. These people and objects showed the characteristics similar to the Mail Order Brides as described by Constable.
