The Beginning: Pre-historic up to The Dawn of Industrial Revolution

1. The Beginning : Pre -
History and Before
1700's
The Evolution Of Media
GROUP 1

2. PRE-HISTORIC ERA
• Prehistoric refers to the time before the
existence of written or recorded history.
• The Prehistoric Age is divided into two
periods: Stone Age and Metal Age

4. STONE AGE
 A broad prehistoric period during
which stone was widely used to
make stone tools with an edge, a
point, or a percussion surface.
 The period lasted for roughly 3.4
million years and ended between
4,000 BC and 2,000 BC, with the
advent of metalworking.

5. STONE AGE
There are two kinds of rock arts
during the Stone Age are:
Petroglyphs and Pictographs.

6. Petroglyphs
 are images created by removing
part of a rock surface by incising,
picking, carving, or abrading, as
a form of rock art.
 use terms such as "carving",
"engraving", or other descriptions
of the technique to refer to such
images.

7. Pictographs
 Early written symbols
were based on
pictographs (pictures
which resemble what
they signify) and
ideograms (symbols
which represent ideas).

8. Early
Communicatio
n Methods

9. Early Communication Methods
 The most well-known form of primitive communication is cave
paintings.
 The artistic endeavors were created by a species of man that
appeared around 130,000 B.C.E, the homo sapiens.
 The method involved creating pigments made from the juice of
fruits and berries, colored minerals, or animal blood.
 These pigments were then used to create depictions of
primitive life on the cave walls.

10. Early Communication Methods
 Theory states that the
depictions were used as a
manual for instructing others
what animals were safe to eat.

11. Early Handwritten
Documents/Books

12. Early Handwritten
Documents/Books
 The proper education to do so were handwriting books and
documents for well over 1,000 years before the invention of the
printing press.
 The word “manuscript” is derived from the Latin term “libri
manu scripti” which translates to “book written by hand”.
 The time between the 7th and 13th centuries was considered
the age of the religious manuscript.
 The 13th century, however, brought about exciting change in the
realm of the written word. For the first time, secular books were
produced for the sake of spreading knowledge not relating to
religion.

13. The Dawn Industrial
Revolution (1700 to
1930's)

14. INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
 Was the transition to new manufacturing processes in the
period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and
1840.
 This transition included going from hand production
methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and
iron production processes, the increasing use of steam
power, the development of machine tools and the rise of
the factory system.

15. New forms of Communication
 One of the first significant inventions was the
telegraph, perfected by Samuel Morse. He
developed a series of dots and dashes that could
be transmitted electrically in 1836; they came to be
known as Morse Code, though it wouldn't be until
1844 that the first telegraph service opened,
between Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

16. New forms of Communication

17. Morse code
 a method used in telecommunication
to encode text characters as
standardized sequences of two
different signal durations, called dots
and dashes, or dits and dahs.

18. TRANSPORTATION
 Water had long been used to power simple
machines like grain mills and textile spinners.
 But it was Scottish inventor James Watt's
refinements to the steam engine in 1775 that
began the revolution. Up until that point, such
engines were crude, inefficient, and unreliable.
Watt's first engines were used primarily to pump
water and air into and out of mines.

19. TRANSPORTATION
 During the next two decades, German engineers
including Karl Benz and Rudolf Diesel would make
further innovations. By the time Henry Ford
unveiled his Model T car in 1908, the internal
combustion engine was poised to transform not just
the nation's transportation system but also spur
20th-century industries like petroleum and aviation.

20. Motion Pictures
 A sequence of images of moving objects
photographed by a camera and providing the optical
illusion of continuous movement when projected
onto a screen.
 Edison began working on motion pictures after
seeing a lecture by Eadweard Muybridge, who used
his zoopraxiscope to simulate the motion of animals.

21. Motion Pictures
 They were first shown publicly in 1893 and the
following year the first Edison films were exhibited
commercially. Photo: Black Maria. The films were
made in the Black Maria, a tar-paper shack studio
at Edison's West Orange Laboratory.

22. Motion Pictures
 By 1892 Edison and Dickson invented a motion
picture camera and a peephole viewing device
called the Kinetoscope.

23. Motion Pictures
Kinetoscope, forerunner of
the motion-picture film
projector, invented by
Thomas A. Edison and
William Dickson of the
United States in 1891.

24. Printing Press
 An inventor born in Germany, Gutenberg had a
vision of a device that would utilized movable type
using blocks with pre-printed text. This method,
combined with the use of paper, ink and a printing
press allowed for books to be mass-produced,
and greatly reduced the price.
 Gutenberg made his first device by adapting a
wine press to remove the water from paper after
printing.

25. Telephone
 On March 7, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell
successfully received a patent for the telephone
and secured the rights to the discovery. Days
later, he made the first ever telephone call to his
partner, Thomas Watson.
