Transportation media
- land
vehicles: carriages, bicycles, trains, and cars. - water
vehicles: rafts, canoes, ships, and submarines. - sky
vehicles: balloons, planes, and spacecraft.
Only the sky requires technology for us to navigate, though it has the advantage of reaching anywhere on the planet.
Communications media
- The one-to-one, or interpersonal medium
- The one-to-many, or mass medium
- The many-to-many, or new medium
New Media requires technology to navigate but has global reach
*Many-to-many paradigm and metaphors adapted from Vin Crosbie, What is New Media?
