Media

Transportation media

  1. land
    vehicles:  carriages, bicycles, trains, and cars.
  2. water
    vehicles:  rafts, canoes, ships, and submarines.
  3. 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

  1. The one-to-one, or interpersonal medium
  2. The one-to-many, or mass medium
  3. 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?
