EVOLUTION OF MEDIA

Before 1700 1700s-1930s 1930s-1980s 1900s-2000s


PREHISTORIC INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONIC NEW
TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY AGE AGE
PREHISTORIC TECHNOLOGY
(Before 1700)
Prehistoric technology predates recorded history. History is the study
of documented occurrences. Everything before written history is
prehistoric, including previous technology. Early hominids utilized
stone tools to create fires, hunt, and bury their dead 2.5 million years
before writing.

People discovered fire, developed paper from plants, and forged


weapons and tools with stone, bronze, copper, and iron. Examples:

1. Cave paintings (35,000 BC)


2. Clay tablets in Mesopotamia (2400 BC)
3. Papyrus in Egypt (2500 BC)
4. Codex in the Mayan region (5th Century)

INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY
(1700s-1930s)
In 1760 and later, other nations entered the Industrial Age,
which changed economic and social order. This time saw
the rise of large corporations and the replacement of
manual tools with power instruments like power looms
and steam engines.

People used the power of steam, developed machine


tools, established iron production, and manufactured
various products (including books through the printing
press). Examples:
1. Telegraph
2. Telephone (1876)
3. Steam Engine
4. Typewriter (1800)
TELEGRAPH TELEPHONE (1876)
STEAM ENGINE TYPEWRITER (1800)
ELECTRONIC AGE
(1930s-1980s)
In the electronic era, people can instantly communicate with
anyone. Telegraph creation in 1844 ushered it in. They eliminated
the written word. We may use our senses to learn without reading
or writing. Sharing with the globe became a regular habit. It was
more crucial to feel than think. Electronic media have informed
individuals about global happenings from home.

The transistor started the electronic age. People used transistors


to create radios, electronic circuits, and early computers. Long-
distance communication has improved in this century. Examples:

1. Transistor Radio
2. Television (1941)
3. Mainframe computers – i.e. IBM 704 (1960)
4. First Cell Phone (1973)
TRANSISTOR RADIO TELEVISION (1941)
MAINFRAME COMPUTERS FIRST CELL PHONE
– I.E. IBM 704 (1960) (1973)
NEW AGE (1900s-2000s)
The information era, the Digital era, the Computer Age, or
the New Media Age is an economy centered on
computerized information enhanced by industrialization.
This is more engaging. New media incorporates all those
features of conventional media and allows people to react
instantly. Examples:

1. Web browsers: Internet Explorer (1995)


2. Social networks: Friendster (2002), Facebook (2004)
3. Microblogs: Twitter (2006), Tumblr (2007)
4. Video: YouTube (2005)
5. Video chat: Skype (2003)
