Vehicles move things from point to point. They are the physical conduits and/or apparatuses that make the communication and/or exchange of people, goods, and information possible, such as ships, trains, and telegraph wires; they are the media that facilitate the exchange of meaning, such as surveys, magazines, exhibit displays, and letters; and, they are vectors—the biota that carry new bacteria, flora, fauna, and viruses from one place to another.
