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.
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).

An infographic charting the history of communication...over 40,000 years.
Technology is one long journey. A journey that isn’t over yet. It has been used for countless good purposes … and a few unaccountable evil ones. So there have been multiple twists and turns along the way.
But one constant of technological advancement - stretching back not just 100 years, but tens of thousands - never changes: the way every new invention helps us communicate.
Because the urge to connect to other people - and share ideas, information, and interactions - never changes either. From cave paintings in prehistoric Australia to VR constructs sizzling deep within your optic nerve, it’s a basic human drive: to pass on ideas to people who aren’t in the same room with you. And people have always used the tools and materials around them to make communication as clear, concise, imaginative, and wide-reaching as possible.
This infographic takes you through over 40,000 years of the methods human beings have used to communicate. You’ll quickly learn that communication isn’t a series of disjointed steps, but an unbroken line - a line starting far in our past, and projecting out even further, into humanity’s starcrossed future.

The ideas for cellular phones were developed in the 1940s. However, it was not until the microprocessor becomes available that practical commercial solutions are possible.
Today there are more than 4.7 billion unique mobile phone subscriptions in the world and of them about 2 billion are smartphones. This device is so powerful that people check it over 40 times a day.
In this lecture we look mobile. We also look at the history of communication since the telegraph and how the mobile market developed in the 80s and 90s until the iPhone was released in 2007. That same year Western Union stopped sending telegraph messages.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. FIRST EMAIL SENT
(1971)
The first e-mail is sent. Ray Tomlinson of the
research firm Bolt, Beranek and Newman sent the first e-
mail when he was supposed to be working on different
project.
Tomlinson, who is credited with being the one to
decide on the ‘@’ sign for use in email, sent his message
over a military network called ARPANET.
3. By 1973, almost three-quarters of
Australian families had a home
telephone. Telephone technology was
constantly improving. In the late 1970s,
the rotary dial telephone was replaced
with a keypad model, called the
Touchfone 10, making dialling even
quicker.
STD (subscriber trunk dialling) was
joined by international subscriber
dialling (ISD) in 1976. ISD took
Australians one step closer to the rest of
the world, enabling callers to dial
directly overseas, rather than having to
call an operator to connect them.
Initially available to Sydney residents,
ISD had spread across Australia by the
end of the decade.
4. FM radio began broadcasting in Sydney in 1974.
FM radio employs technology that provides a much
higher quality, less distorted sound than AM
broadcast.
FM radio also created space on the airwaves for
a greater variety of commercial stations, as well as
small niche stations. In 1975 the government funded
the development of several multicultural radio
stations. Two of these stations, 2EA in Sydney and
3EA in Melbourne, were eventually combined to form
the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS).
5. In 1975, Bill Gates and
Paul Allen from a
partnership called
Microsoft.
Like most start-ups,
Microsoft begins small, but
has a massive vision – a
computer on every desktop
and in every home.
During the coming
years, Microsoft begins to
change the ways we work.
Microsoft is now one of
the biggest companies in
the world.
6. In 1975, it was estimated that 94 percent of families
owned black-and-white television sets.
Colour television was launched in 1975,
rejuvenating interest in the medium. Within three
years of its launch, it was estimated that 70 percent
of households in Sydney owned a colour television
set.
Television production techniques also developed throughout the decade. In
1979, for example, a camera mounted inside a car transmitted images of the
Bathurst 1000 car race directly to viewers at home. This gave viewers a
much more exciting, first-hand television experience.
Satellite or 'pay' television was introduced in 1995. Pay TV enabled
Australians to access a much greater range of sport, news, movie and
entertainment channels, 24 hours a day.
7. BETAMAX VIDEO STANDARD
(1975)
Betamax was a analogue videocassette which
allowed the recording and playback of video. Betamax
was developed by Sony and released in japan on May 10th
1975.
The name ‘BETA’ comes from the fact that when the
tape ran through the transport, it looked like this Greek
letter beta (β). ‘Max’ was to suggest that the videocassette
performed at maximum capability.
8. The first personal computer was invented
in 1977 by Intel anAd the computer was
called the INTEL 4004. The personal
computer was for recording data, playing a
variety of games and calculating data. As
time passed on the personal computer got
smaller and had new features due to
technology advancements. Later other
companies started to make computer such
as Apple and Commodore Pet.
9. The first cellular mobile phone was invented
by Bell Labs and licensed by AT&T in 1977. Other
phones were licensed by AT&T before but weren't
mobile. Before the cellular mobile phone was
invented the federal communications service had
to agree to take action before the phone could be
sold. When the phone was able to be bot it became
really popular and many house holds carried the
phone. As time passed the phones became smaller
and different companies stepped up and created
phones.
