A Short History Of Media
Multimedia refers to the combination and integration of different types of media such as audio, images, text, and video. The document traces the history of various media technologies from early cave paintings over 30,000 years ago to modern digital technologies. Key developments discussed include the printing press in 1455, newspapers in 1640, photography in the 1830s, movies in the late 1890s, television in the 1930s, home computers in the 1970s-80s, and personal media players in the 2000s. Throughout history, new electronic technologies have enabled storing and sharing various types of media content with more people.
The telephone fys project
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1874 while working as a teacher for deaf children in Boston. He received a patent for the telephone in 1876. The first phone call was made on March 10, 1876 between Bell and his assistant Thomas Watson. The telephone rapidly evolved from the initial liquid transmitter to include new technologies like the dial phone, mobile phones, and smartphones. The invention of the telephone transformed society by allowing people to easily communicate over long distances and stay connected to distant friends and family.
Record
Print recording began around 3000 BC with clay tablet impressions in Mesopotamia. Major developments included carved stone tablets of Confucian classics in China in 175 AD and the world's earliest printed book in East Asia in AD 868. Movable type was developed in the 11th century, making printing more efficient.
Audio recording started with Edison recovering "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on tinfoil in 1877. Major milestones included Marconi's wireless radio transmission in 1895 and the first commercial AM radio broadcast in 1921.
Web-based recording began with Babbage's analytical engine in 1842 and the first computer in 1943. The CD was developed in the late 1970s through collaboration between
technology from 1970 to 1980
Ray Tomlinson sent the first email in 1971 using the @ symbol to separate the username and domain name. By the mid-1970s, most Australian families had home phones and international direct dialing was introduced. FM radio broadcasting began in Sydney in 1974 providing higher quality sound. Betamax, the first home video recording format, was released by Sony in 1975 allowing recording and playback of video on cassettes. The first personal computer, the Intel 4004, and first cellular mobile phone were also invented in 1977.
The Evolution of the Telephone
The telephone has evolved dramatically since Alexander Graham Bell patented the first electric telephone in 1876. Early phones required manual operation by switchboard operators to connect calls. As demand grew, automatic exchanges run by computers replaced human operators by the 1920s. Phones transitioned from wall-mounted landlines to portable cordless phones to today's smartphones that provide extensive computing capabilities beyond just voice calls. The iPhone transformed the industry with its touchscreen interface and integration of apps, internet, email and more.

Dr. Whidden Fairfax VA | Famous Inventions that Changed the World.
Dr. Whidden Fairfax VA - Whenever any new invention is unveiled to the world, a stunning piece of new technology is made that instantly changes everything. There's certainly a lot of redesigning and experimenting when it comes to inventions, but it takes a lot longer time. Every invention has problems, and it might not be until some other inventor comes along that they get solved. Here are some inventions that changed the course of the world.
Media History
Media Life is a course intended for undergraduate students across campus. Its goal is to make people aware of the role that media play in their everyday life. The key to understanding a "media life" is to see our lives not as lived WITH media (which would lead to a focus on media effects and media-centric theories of society), but rather IN media (where the distinction between what we do with and without media dissolves).

The author has been wearing a narrative camera since 2014 and keeping a log book of daily events since 2010. They compare the two methods by analyzing 10 random days from photos and log entries. The analysis found that photos capture brief moments and people/actions while log entries focus more on longer events and actions. The author concludes that the camera and log book stimulate memory in different ways, with the camera capturing more unconscious details and the log book focusing on categorized longer duration activities. Using both tools may help slow down time by aiding normal memory recall of past events.
