		Media that are light, easily transportable, but less durable--such as television waves, telephone messages, or the thin parchment carried by pony express riders in the 1860s--are said to be space-binding.
		Other media are suspect in terms of their ability to satisfy educational needs and are portrayed as "mere" entertainment, at the least offensive end of the spectrum of contempt, to the creation of mindless followers whose very emotional state is molded by the non- print media, at the most hostile end of the spectrum.
