"Television has progressively distinguished kid, teen, and, later, toddler and tween market segments through programming form, content, and style (Kenway and Bullen 2008), addressing each as distinctive from each other and from adults, encouraging certain activities, interests, and even subversive joys (Seiter 1993), while associating peer culture and youthful identity with messages of marketing, merchandising, and distinction (Kline 1993)." The individualization processes in the daily life of the average man has become so oriented toward television that to think about any other thing after a long day is to garner a feeling of being out of place and out of touch; feelings of being even more isolated than what television already provides. This is the Secondary Life. LLc 98.2
