Processing Question:
How do people communicate, store and share information in different ages?
Editor's Notes
Media have evolved throughout time – from pre-industrial age to information age. The evolution of traditional to new media depicts the records of the past on the progress of media technology which helps people communicate and disseminate information in the fastest and efficient ways. Furthermore, media also shaped the values and norms of people and society.
The prehistoric inhabitants used stone tools and metals as part of their daily activities like hunting and gathering. They also used crude stone tools to create things considered rock art. These prehistoric arts such as petroglyphs and pictographs were considered the earliest forms of traditional media
Paintings are drawn on the walls of a cave which is believed to portray beliefs and ideas.
Thousands of years ago there was no paper. Mesoptamia means the land by the rivers. Clay is abundqnt in Iraq to this day, so it is a resource.
means ‘Daily Acts’ or ‘Daily Public Records. It was carved on stone or metal. the daily public notices that were posted in certain public places around the ancient city of Rome. These notices kept the ancient inhabitants of Rome up to date with current events.
Dibao was a type of publication issued by central and local governments in imperial China. They have been called "palace reports" or "imperial bulletins". Dibao were important because they were used as media for regulation and circulation of government’s official reports and announcements to masses. We have not been exposed to the Dibao that much since it is from China. But we have heard about it during our lessons in history.
Maya codices (singular codex) are folding books stemming from the pre-Columbian Maya civilization, written in Maya hieroglyphic script on Mesoamerican paper, made from the inner bark of certain trees, the main being the wild fig tree or Amate (Ficus Glabrata), this paper was named by the Mayas Huun, and contained many Glyph and paintings.
Woodblock printing (or block printing) is a technique for printing text, images or patterns used widely throughout East Asia and originating in China in antiquity as a method of printing on textiles and later paper.
The industrial age occurs during the industrial revolution in Great Britain. This period brought in economic and societal changes, such as the substitution of handy tools with machines like the power loom and the steam engine. The transformation of the manufacturing industry, and commercial enterprise for mass production of various products occurred. Also, long-distance communication became possible via telegraph, a system used for transmitting messages.
Most of us tend to take printed materials for granted, but imagine life today if the printing press had never been invented. We would not have books, magazines or newspapers. Posters, flyers, pamphlets and mailers would not exist. The printing press allows us to share large amounts of information quickly and in huge numbers.
The London Gazette claims to be the oldest surviving English newspaper. The London Gazette is one of the official journals of record or government gazettes of the Government of the United Kingdom, and the most important among such official journals in the United Kingdom,
Motion picture, also called film or movie, series of still photographs on film, projected in rapid succession onto a screen by means of light.
FILMS, DRAMA, THEATER
telegraph, any device or system that allows the transmission of information by coded signal over distance.
The electronic age started when people utilized the power of electricity that made electronic devices like transistor radio and television work. The creation of the transistor piloted the rise of the electronic age. The power of transistors was used in radio, electronic circuits, and early computers. In this period, people made use of air access to communication.
A transistor radio is a small portable radio receiver that uses transistor-based circuitry. A transistor is a semiconductor device that used to switch electric signals and power.
The Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator ( EDSAC) was an early British computer. EDSAC was the second electronic digital stored-program computer
the available main memory (instructions and data) was only 512 words (18-bit per words).
Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine-first computer
is an early programmable calculator. called it a desktop calculator because, as Bill Hewlett said, "If we had called it a computer, it would have been rejected by our customers' computer gurus because it didn't look like an IBM. We therefore decided to call it a calculator, and all such nonsense disappeared."[1]
originally released as the Apple Computer and known later as the Apple I, or Apple-1, is an 8-bit desktop computer released by the Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.)
Also called overhead projector. In the overhead projector, the source of the image is a page-sized sheet of transparent plastic film (also known as "foils" or "transparencies") with the image to be projected either printed or hand-written/drawn. These are placed on the glass platen of the projector, which has a light source below it and a projecting mirror and lens assembly above it (hence, "overhead"). They were widely used in education and business before the advent of video projectors.
