Merchants of Cool

For those of you who were absent today (Thursday), you can get the link to the documentary The Merchants of Cool at the PBS website or by Googling "Merchants of Cool". We'll finish and debrief it in class tomorrow.

Remember it came out in 2001 so some of it will be outdated, but the mechanisms behind the trends are still very much in use. We'll talk about the relationship between the individual and society explored in this documentary on Friday.
