I should probably be more specific:
'''Message''': If this has come to mean a brief, insubstantial piece of communication, so what? This doesn't mean that the art of communication itself has died out. There are plenty of other words that we could still use to denote a more weighty and important communication.
'''Link''': If this now refers exclusively to the internet (which I doubt), there are other words we could use for more significant connections.
'''Media''': "The Press" implies a printing press, which implies newspapers. The media today encompass newspapers, television, radio, and the internet. We need a word which can encompass all of these. What's so wrong with that? [[User:Eoinc|Eoinc]] 23:05, 26 December 2008 (EST)
