from Traditional to New Media

2. 1,560 BCE
Clay Tablets
In the Ancient Near East,
Clay Tablets were used as a writing
medium, especially for writing in
cuneiform, throughout the Bronze Age
and well into the Iron Age. This means
of communicating was used for over
3000 years in fifteen different
languages. Sumerians, Babylonians and
Eblaites all had their own clay tablet
libraries
The clay tablet was thus
being used by scribes to take down the
events of what was happening during
his time.

3. 1,561 BCE
Traditional
Paper/Parchment
Parchment is a writing
material made from specially prepared
untanned skins of animals—primarily
sheep, calves, and goats. It has been
used as a writing medium for over two
millennia. Vellum is a finer quality
parchment made from the skins of
kids, lambs, and young calves.
Communication grew faster
as now there was a way to get
messages across just like mail.

4. 1,559 BCE
Egyptian hieroglyphs
Were the formal writing
system used in Ancient Egypt. It
combined logographic, syllabic and
alphabetic elements, with a total of
some 1,000 distinct characters

5. 1,558 BCE
Body Art
Tattooing is basically a body
art, through which people accentuate
and enhance the look of the body. In
the history of art, prehistoric art is all
art produced in preliterate,
prehistorical cultures beginning
somewhere in very late geological
history, and generally continuing until
that culture either develops writing or
other methods of record-keeping, or
makes significant contact with another
culture that has.
Body Art makes some record
of major historical events.

6. 1,557 BCE
Rock Carving
Rock art is a rather vague
term which denotes prehistoric man-
made markings on natural stone.
Similar terms include rock carvings,
rock engravings, rock inscriptions, rock
drawings and rock paintings. It is
similar to the cave painting which is
also used to communicate with man
during prehistoric age

7. 1,556 BCE
PreHistoric Age Cave
Painting
Cave paintings also known as
"parietal art" are painted drawings on
cave or rock walls and ceilings, mainly
of prehistoric origin, dated to some
40,000 years ago (around 38,000 BCE)
in Eurasia
The beginning of human
communication dates back to ancient
cave paintings, drawn maps, and writing

8. Apr 4, 1774
Industrial age
Electric Telegraph
Electric Telegraph uses
electric signals to send communication
via radio or line. This was used as a
communication of people but only inside
the same country.

9. Apr 4, 1829
Type writer
This was the most important
device during those days used by
editors in newspapers. This was
important because this helped
Industrial Revolution by providing fast
information from the reporters to the
editors which then later, published to
the citizen. This was invented by W.S
Burt in 1829.

10. Apr 4, 1837
Telegraph
Another telegraph was
invented by Samuel Morse. The use of
this telegraph is almost the same as
electric telegraph. This was used for
communications during those days.

11. Apr 4, 1867
Modern Typewriter
Christopher Scholes invented
the first practical and modern
typewriter during the 1867s. This was
the improvement of the old
typewritter but the function of it is
similar. It is used by the editors and
reporters to spread informations to
the people living inside the country.

12. Apr 4, 1876
Telephone
The first telephone invented
by Alexander Graham Bell. This device
allowed people to communicate with
other people living in a longer distance.
This made communication easier
between business men during the
Industrial Revolution

13. Apr 4, 1877
Phonograph
Phonograph was first
invented by Thomas Alfa Edison. This
tool was used for communication
before the telephone was invented.
People were amazed by how they can
hear a dead man's voice who was
thought to be gone forever only by this
simple tool.

14. Jul 12, 1878
Printing Press
A printing press is a device
for applying pressure to an inked
surface resting upon a print medium
(such as paper or cloth), thereby
transferring the ink. Typically used for
texts, the invention and spread of the
printing press was one of the most
influential events in the second
millennium

15. Aug 4, 1878
Tape recorder
An audio tape recorder, tape
deck or tape machine is an analog audio
storage device that records and plays
back sounds, including articulated
voices, usually using magnetic tape,
either wound on a reel or in a cassette,
for storage. In its present-day form, it
records a fluctuating signal by moving
the tape across a tape head that
polarizes the magnetic domains in the
tape in proportion to the audio signal.
Tape-recording devices include reel-to-
reel tape deck and the cassette deck.

Newspaper
A newspaper is a serial
publication containing news about
current events, other informative
articles about politics, sports, arts, and

purchase price, by prepaid
subscriptions, or a combination of the
three.

Radio
Radio is a way to send
electromagnetic signals over a long
distance, to deliver information from
one place to another. A machine that
sends radio signals is called a
transmitter, while a machine that
"picks up" the signals is called a
receiver. A machine that does both
jobs is a "transceiver"

19. Sep 7, 1927
Television
A television is a machine with
a screen. Televisions receive broadcast
signals and turn them into pictures and
sound.

20. May 4, 1943
Computer
A computer is a device that
can be instructed to carry out an
arbitrary set of arithmetic or logical
operations automatically. The ability of
computers to follow generalized
sequences of operations, called
programs, enable them to perform a
wide range of tasks.

21. Jun 5, 1949
Digital Books
An electronic book (or e-
book) is a book publication made
available in digital form, consisting of
text, images, or both, readable on the
flat-panel display of computers or
other electronic devices. Although
sometimes defined as "an electronic
version of a printed book", some e-
books exist without a printed
equivalent.

22. Apr 3, 1973
Cellphone
A portable usually cordless
telephone for use in a cellular system.
It is also a a portable telephone that
connects to other telephones by radio
through a system of transmitters each
of which covers a limited geographical
area

23. Jun 2, 1991
WIFI
Wi-Fi is a way of connecting
to a computer network using radio
waves instead of wires.

24. Sep 4, 1995
Smartphone
A smartphone is a mobile

Social Media
social media are computer-
mediated technologies that facilitate
the creation and sharing of
information, ideas, career interests
and other forms of expression via
virtual communities and networks. The
variety of stand-alone and built-in
social media services currently
available introduces challenges of
definition; however, there are some
common features
