• The 20th century was
a spectator to the birth
of what is conceivably
the most well-known
device in the history of
mankind:
4. Petroglyphs
• Petroglyphs are illustrations created
by abolishing part of a rock surface by
incising or carving, as a form of rock
art. Around 7,000 to 9,000 years ago,
other forerunners of writing system,
such as pictographs and ideograms,
began to emerge.

Cave Paintings (also
known as “parietal art”)
are painted drawings on
cave walls or ceilings,
mainly of prehistoric
descent, to some 40,000
years ago (around
38,000 BCE) in both
Asia and Europe.
The paintings are
exceptionally identical
around the world, with
animals being common
subjects that give the most
dramatic images. Human
mainly appear as images of
hands, mostly hand stencils
made by blowing pigment
on a hand held to the wall.
A theory produced by David
Lewis-Williams customarily
based on ethnographic
studies of contemporary
hunter-gatherer societies
states that the paintings
were made by the
Paleolithic Shamans. The
shaman would Evacuate
into the blackness of the
caves, entered into a
hypnotic state, and then
painted images of their
visions.

In most archaic
civilizations, dancing
before the god was
fundamental in temple
rituals. In Egypt the priest
and priestesses, guided
by harps and pipes,
perform ceremonial
movements which mined
significant events in the
story of a god, or imitate
cosmic patterns such as
the cadence of night and
day.
Archeological evidence for early
dance includes 9,000-year-old
paintings in India at the Rock
Shelters of Bhimbetka, and
Egyptian tomb paintings
depicting dancing figures, dated
c. 3300 BCE. It has been
introduced that before the
fabrication of written languages,
dance was an important part of
the oral and performance
approaches of passing stories
down from generation to
generation.

Unlike tattoo and other
forms of permanent
body art, body paintings
was temporary, painted
in the human skin,
lasted for one day, or at
most(in the case of
mehndi, “henna” or temp
tattoo, glitter tattoos) a
couple of weeks.
Body painting with clay and
other innate pigments
existed in most if not all
tribal cultures. Often worn
during ceremonies, this
ancient form of
interpretation is still used
among many indigenous
people of the world today.
Tattoos, piercing, nose-
ears-mouth plugs,
mehndi,henna, and
scarification other ritual-
based art forms.

the time period in which
scientists have found the
earliest remains of human
activity, approximately 60,000
BC

There are two
types of Writing
during the
Ancient Era, first
is the Cuneiform
Script and the
Egyptian
hieroglyphs
10. Figure 2-1. Trilingual cuneiform inscription of Xerxes at Van Fortress
in turkey, written in Old Persian Akkadian, and Elamite

is one of the earliest
schemes of writing,
identified by it wedge-
shaped marks on clay
tablets, built by means of
a blunt reed of stylus.
The cuneiform wiring
system was in use for
more than three millennia,
through several points of
development, from 34th
century BCE down to the
second century CE
11. Figure 2-2. A section of the Papyrus of Ani Showing cursive hieroglyps 11
Were an orderly writing
system used by the ancient
Egyptians that combined
anagrammed and alphabetic
elements. Egyptians used
cursive hieroglyphs for
religious articles on papyrus
and wood. Early hieroglyphs
dated back as far as 3,300
BCE, and continued to be
used up until about 400 CE,
When non-Christian temples
were sealed and their
monumental use was no
longer mandatory.
13. Figure 2.3 The Phoenician Alphabet 13
Called by the tradition the
Proto-Canaanite Alphabet
for epitaphs older than
around 1050 BCE, is the
oldest confirmed alphabet. It
contains 22 letters, all of
which are consonants, it was
acquired from Egyptian
hieroglyphs and became one
of the most extensively used
writing systems, spread by
Phoenician merchants
across the Mediterranean
World, where it expanded
and was comprehended by
many other cultures.

Western drama comes
from classical Greece.
The theatrical culture of
the city-state of Athens
generated three genres of
drama. Tragedy, comedy,
and the satyr play. Their
bases remains obscure,
though by the 5th century
BCE they were regulated
in competitions held as
part of festivities
celebrating the god
Dionysus.
17. Figure 3-1. Oldest paper book, dating to 256 CE 17
The word “paper” is
grammatically derived
from “papyros”, Ancient
Greek for the Cyperus
Papyrus Plant. Papyrus
is a chunky, paper-like
matter produced from the
core of the Cyperus
Papyrus Plant which was
used in ancient Egypt and
other Mediterranean
cultures for writing way
before the paper making
in China.
19. Figure 3-2. Recreated Gutenberg press at the International Printing
Museum, Carson California. 19
A Printing Press is an
apparatus for administering
pressure to an inked surface
recessing upon a print
medium (such as paper or
cloth), thereby transferring
the ink The invention and
spread of the printing press
was one of the most
prominent events in the
second millennium. It
transformed the way people
understand and describe the
world, and preceding in the
period of innovation.
It was invented in the Holy
Roman Empire by the
German Johannes
Gutenberg around 1440. he
developed an entire printing
system, which fulfilled the
printing operation through
all of its stages.
21. Figure 3-4. A Morse Key 21
Telegraphy is the long-
distance broadcast of
textual or symbolic (as
opposed to verbal or
audio) messages. It is
without the corporeal
exchange of an object
bearing the message. It
necessitates that the
technique used for
encoding the message
be known to both sender
and receiver.
An electrical telegraph
was self-sufficiently
advanced and patented in
the United States in 1837 by
Samuel Morse. His
assistant, Alfred Vail,
developed the Morse code
signaling alphabet with
Morse. The first telegram in
the United states was sent
by Morse on 11 January
1838, across three
kilometers of wire.
Though it was only
later, in 1844 that he
sent the message
“WHAT HATH GOD
WROUGHT” From
the Capitol in
Washington to
Baltimore.

A Telephone, or phone,
is a telecommunications
device that allows many
users to administer a
conversation when they
are too apart to be heard.
A Telephone transfigures
sound into electronic
signals appropriate for
transmission via cables or
other transmission media
over lengthy distances,
and reruns the signals
instantaneously in audible
form to its user.
23. ADD A FOOTER 23
Invented in 1877, the
Phonograph is a device
designed for the power-
driven recording and
reproduction of sound. In
its later forms it was also
called a Gramophone.
The sound waveforms are
recorded as conforming
physical deviations of a
spiral groove engraved
into the surface of a
spinning disc, called a
“record”.
The surface is likewise
rotated while a playback
stylus traces the groove and
is therefore vibrated by it,
very feebly reproducing the
recorded sound.
24. Film examples
Here is the list of the best logline examples for feature films that became
box office hits.
24
A Film, also called a movie,
motion picture, theatrical
film or photoplay, is a
series of immobile images
that, when shown on a
screen, generates the
illusion of moving images.
This optical illusion causes
the viewers to see
continuous motion. The
history of film started in the
1890s, when motion picture
cameras were invented and
film production companies
stated to be recognized.
Its firsts decade saw
film moving from a
novelty to a
reputable large-scale
entertainment
industry.

Radio is the technology
of using radio waves to
convey information,
such as sound, by
modulating some
property of electro-
magnetic energy waves
transferred through
space.
28. Figure 4-2. A family watching television in 1858
28
Television or TV is a
telecommunication
medium used for
transmitting sound with
moving pictures in
monochrome, or in color,
and in two or three
dimensions. It is a mass
medium, for
entertainment,
education, news, and
advertising.
It became obtainable in
basic experimental forms in
the late 1920s. An improved
form became popular in the
United States and Britain
after World War II.
Television sets became
conventional in homes,
businesses, and institutions.
During 1950s, televisions
was the primary medium for
influencing public opinion.
Color broadcasting was then
introduced in the US and
most other developed
countries in the mid-1960s
29. Figure 4-3. IBM Personal Computer XT in 1988 29
A Personal Computer
(PC) is a general-purpose
computer. Its size,
capabilities, and novel
sale price make it
beneficial for individuals.
It is envisioned to be
worked directly by an
end-user with no
superseding computer
time-sharing models that
permitted larger, more
lavish minicomputer and
mainframe systems to be
used by many people,
usually at the same time.
30. Evolution of mobile phones, to an early smartphone.
30
A Mobile Phone is a
portable telephone
which can produce and
receive calls over a
radio frequency carrier.
Most services use a
cellular network manner,
and therefore they are
often called Cellular
Telephones or Cell
phones.
In 1973, the first handheld
mobile phone was invented by
John F. Mitchell and Martin
Cooper of Motorola. In 1983,
the DynaTAC 8000x was the
first commercially available
handheld mobile phone. From
1983 to 2014, universal mobile
phone subscription grew to
over seven billion. It penetrated
100% of the global population
that stretched even to the
bottom of the ecomomic
pyramid.
The Top mobile phone
manufacturers were:
SAMSUNG,APPLE and
Huawei.

The Internet is the
worldwide system of
unified computer
networks that use the
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
that links billions of
devices across the planet.
Its uses are to access
news reports, to plan and
book vacations and to
pursue their personal
interests, also to chat,
message and e-mail in
order to stay in touch with
friends globally.
Famous social networking
sites such as Facebook,
Twitter, and MySpace have
created fresh ways to
socialize. Users of these
sites are capable of adding
a wide variability of
information to pages, to
track mutual interest, and to
link with others. It is also
possible to find existing
friends.

Editor's Notes
The television, tv is a communication technology that ahs transformed the delivery of information. Entertainment and artistic expression. We have also witness and participated in the birth of the internet, a technology whose capability makes the TV dim into paltriness (worthless thing). These are expeditious and notable times we live in. now would be a good moment to take a trip back through the ages, and to delve (reach) in to the forms of and device for media and communication throughout human history.
Petroglyphs were still common though, and some cultures continued using them much longer, even until contact with western civilization was made in the 20th century
There are many ideologies to construe their purpose, depending on their location, age, and appearance. Some are thought to be astronomical indicators, maps, and other form of allegorical communication, including a form of “pre-writing” (“Prewriting is the first stage of the writing process, typically followed by drafting, revision, editing and publishing. Prewriting can consist of a combination of outlining, diagramming, storyboarding, clustering.”)
some of the petroglyph images probably have deep cultural and religious significance for the cultures that created them; in many cases this implication remains for their descendants.
Pictographs - a pictorial symbol for a word or phrase. Pictographs were used as the earliest known form of writing, examples having been discovered in Egypt and Mesopotamia from before 3000 BC.
Ideograms - a written character symbolizing the idea of a thing without indicating the sounds used to say it, e.g., numerals and Chinese characters.
The exact purpose of the paintings is not recognized. Evidence proposed that they were not merely ornaments of living areas since the caves in which thy have been found do not have traces of ongoing habitation.
The use of dance in ecstatic trance states and healing traditions was thought to have been another early factor in the cordial development of dance
All types of body art hold great meaning in these culture.
Body art is a momentous part of social, spiritual, and personal expression. It can be a part of a culture’s rite of passage for when the child become an adult, weddings, preparation for war or hunt, the birth of a child, spiritual rituals, and death. It can also represent your origin, your position, symbol of power, what you have reached and experienced, it can be like an identification card, it protects from evil forces, it shows bravery and beauty, can be an act of transformation, mourning, connecting with the spirits of animals or the earth, symbol of fertility.
