“Media are not fixed objects: they have no natural edges. They area constructed complexes of habits, beliefs, and procedures embedded in elaborate cultural codes of communication.” “The history of media is never more or less than the history of their uses, which always lead us away from them to the social practises and conflicts they illuminate.” (Marvin, quoted in Huhtamo, p. 66)
