Class Response: Melding the Models

We discussed in class about how the different binary models are staring to become obsolete because of things like conglomerates and infotainment. One model that cant be combined is the "Hot-Cold" model. How can something that is intense and takes all of your concentration be background sound as well? On further examination, I decided that there are a few gray areas. Magazines, for example. A magazine could take all of your time and attention if you choose to sit and read every single word, but what about if you skim the headlines and chat with your friend beside you. This is one of the rare items which you can allow to take up different amounts of your concentration.
