    Ad distribution has dramatically changed with the popularity of the internet (which is changing the “tv industrial complex”). The message is still the same though – with this product your life will be easier than it is, you will be happier, you will be different and “cool, or you will be accepted.

    I feel he contradicts himself throughout this lecture. I think the main point he was trying to make was that you can no longer mass spam the nation with non-valuable products, because the consumer now has some control of ad/content distribution, yet he makes no mention of this. His main point seems to be that products need to be “remarkable”, or good, or of quality. Yet there have always been these markets (Sharper Image, Eddie Bauer..etc.).
