The document outlines the evolution of media across four ages: 1) Pre-Industrial Age (Before 1700s) - People communicated through cave paintings, clay tablets, and papyrus. 2) Industrial Age (1700s-1930s) - Steam power enabled mass production including printing presses, newspapers, movies, and telephones. 3) Electronic Age (1930s-1980s) - Transistors led to technologies like computers, televisions, and efficient long-distance communication. 4) Information Age (1980s-present) - The Internet, personal computers, mobile devices, and digital media transformed communication.

EVOLUTION OF

MEDIA
Presented by: Shairah Mikhaela Batoy
Venz Ryan P. Bugtong
Pre-Industrial Age (Before 1700s)
• People discovered fire, developed paper from plants, and forged
weapons and tools with stone, bronze, copper and iron.

Examples:
• Cave Paintings
(35,000 BC)
• Papyrus in Egypt (2500 BC) • Clay Tablets in Mesopotamia
(2400 BC)
 Acta Diurna in Rome (130 BC)

 Printing press using wood blocks (220 AD)


• Dibao in China (2nd Century)
Industrial Age (1700s-1930s)
• People used the power of steam, developed machine
tools, established iron production, and manufacturing
of various products (including books through printing
press).

Examples
• Printing press for mass production (19th Century)
• Motion picture photography / projection (1890)
• Motion picture with sound (1926)
• Punch Cards
• Newspaper – The London Gazette (1640)
• Commercial motion pictures (1913)
• Typewriter (1800)
• Telegraph Telephone
Electronic Age (1930s – 1980s)
• The invention of the transistor ushered in the electronic age.
People harnessed the power of transistor that led to the transistor
radio, electronic circuits, and the early computers. In this age, long
distance communication became more efficient.

Examples
 Transistor Radio
 Mainframe computers – i.e. IBM 704 (1960)
 OHP, LCD projectors
 Television (1941)
 Large Electronic computers - i.e. EDSAC (1949) and UNIVAC (1951)
 Personal Computers – i.e. EDSAC (1949) and UNIVAC (1951)
Information Age (1900s-2000s)
• The Internet paved the way for faster communication and the
creation of the 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.

Examples
 Web browsers: Mosaic (1993), Internet Explorer (1995)
 Video: YouTube (2005)
 Social Networks: Friendster (2002), Multiply (2003), Facebook
(2004)
Activity Time!!
In This period, people
mostly rely on nature. The
usage of smoke, fire, and
horn was one of their ways
in order for them to
communicate.
People used the power of
steam, developed machine
tools, established iron
production, and manufacturing
of various products (including
books through printing press).
