From the rear cover

Treating television as an important socializing force, this book examines how prime-time television in the 1990s equipped viewers to negotiate the transition from the industrial age to the information age. Jam-packed with examples, the book demonstrates how television aided viewers in confronting information overload, identity drift, the increasing pace of life, the guilt of feeling techno-illiterate, and cultural fragmentation.
