usefulness. Media serve to keep us
informed of current issues.

10. Evolution of Media

12. Pre-Industrial Age
People
discovered a
fire, developed
paper from
plants, and
forged
weapons and
stone, bronze,
copper, and
iron.

13. In the time of prehistoric men, the way of
communication between the people was
through cave paintings by using paint and
brushes to draw images. To create the paint,
cavemen used materials such as soil, water,
plant juice, animal blood, and hematite.
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.
Papyrus is first known to have been used
in ancient Egypt (at least as far back as
the First Dynasty), as the papyrus plant
was once abundant across the Nile Delta.

15. Industrial Age
People used the power of
steam, developed machine
tools, established iron
production, and the
manufacturing of various
products (including books
through the printing press).
Printing Press for
Mass Production
Newspaper
Typewriter

16. 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.
Newspaper, publication usually issued daily,
weekly, or at other regular times that
provides news, views, features, and other
information of public interest and that often
carries advertising.
This helped the industrial revolution by
allowing people to write manuals for the
workers and mass produce them much more
easier. This would be more easy to read and
also more cheap.

18. Electronic Age
The invention of the
transistor ushered in
the electronic age.
People harnessed
the power of
transistors that led
to the transistor
radio, electronic
circuits, and the
early computers. In
this age, long
distance
communication
became more
efficient.

19. Television (TV) is a telecommunication
medium used for transmitting moving images
in monochrome (black and white), or in color,
and in two or three dimensions and sound.
A transistor radio is a small portable radio
receiver that uses transistor-based
circuitry.
ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and
Computer) was the earliest electronic
general-purpose computers made. It was
Turing-complete, digital and able to solve "a
large class of numerical problems" through
reprogramming.

20. Mass media means technology that is
intended to reach a mass audience. It is the
primary means of communication used to
reach the vast majority of the general public.
The most common platforms for mass media
are newspapers, magazines, radio, television,
and the Internet. The general public typically
relies on the mass media to provide
information regarding political issues, social
issues, entertainment, and news in pop
culture.

22. Digital Age
The internet paved the way for faster
communication and the creation of social network.
People advanced the use of microelectronics with
the invention of personal computers, mobile
devices, and wearable technology. Moreover, voice,
image, sound, and data are digitalized. We are now
living in the information age.
