I'm not too sure about these terms. I hear them thrown around and they seem
to me to be a bastardisation of McLuhan's ideas.

I guess it stems from the thought that radio requires more use of
imagination, however I would argue that TV users are active in that they
certainly do not passively accept what is put to them.
