Technological innovations are terrific - they drive economic progress, increase quality of life, and give us new things to talk about. But you don't have to be one of the early adopters who pay for the new technology's research and development. Companies usually try to recoup the cost of innovation through very high premium pricing of new technologies.
These are bought most avidly by that golden market segment, the eighteen-to-thirty-four-year-old single male demographic, because those are the humans who invest the highest proportion of their money, time, and energy into mating effort, including conspicuous consumption. Then, after the horny rich boys all own the technology, the companies gradually lower their prices and enter the mass market. This is when LCD TVs get 30 percent cheaper every six months.
The consequences for a man's social status are critical...Men are particularly concerned about status, reputation, and hierarchies because elevated rank has always been an important means of acquiring the resources that make men attractive to women. It is reasonable, therefore, to expect that a man will be concerned about the effect that his mate has on his social status - an effect that has consequences for gaining additional resources and mating opportunities.
A person's status and resource holdings, however, often cannot be observed directly. They must instead be inferred from tangible characteristics. Among humans,one set of cues is people's ornamentation. Gold chains, expensive artwork or fancy cars may signal to both sexes an abundance of resources that can be directed toward parental investment. Men seek attractive women as mates not simply for their reproductive value but as signals of status to same-sex competitors and other potential mates.
Indirect Intrasexual Selection takes the form of homes, cars (car sound systems, engines, hydraulics, body kits, etc.), technological devices (computers, iPods, cell phones, etc.) , businesses, etc., in which valued possessions are used to assert status, power, and wealth and are a proxy for genetic traits and characteristics.
And remember, this is all competition between and among MEMBERS OF THE SAME SEX. They're all directly and indirectly trying to out compete one another for status within the social hierarchy. They're all trying to position themselves so that they can have the best access to best resources and the most opportunities with the most attractive opposite sex mates.

@batosmak I don't have to explain anything to you. But I will anyway. Intrasexual Selection is when, typically males, compete amongst one another for the sexual access of females. Often times, in the human species, this competition can lead to unintended consequences, such as, in this case, the murder of that thing in which they're competing for: THE OPPOSITE SEX (this female).
