Media: tools used to store and deliver information or data (form of communication)

Quote: "In China, Germany...you are trying to ward off the virus of liberty by erecting guard posts at the frontiers of Cyberspace.  These may keep out the contagion for a small time, but they will not work in a world that will soon be blanketed in bit-bearing media" (Barlow, A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace, p. 2)
