What kind of sick people spend their days plotting how to get 3-year olds hooked to electronic gadgets/programs/etc. to the point where removing said device/whatever makes the child depressed? Have you no shame!

This to me is even worse than the marketing typology that was posted a while ago, with the focus on young children.

That was actually pretty fascinating.

I work in marketing, and at least in college, we would do this. It's called segmenting your market. Nothing new here.

Thank goodness I work in B2B marketing now. After turning Mustachian, I don't know how I would be able to live with myself with B2C.

Just watched the BBC series "The Men Who Made Us Spend" which someone posted on this board.  In it they noted that Transformers & He-Man were both developed as toys first and then the television shows were created as marketing for the toys so this targeting has been going on for decades.
