Pre-Industrial Age
Cave Paintings
-are a type of parietal art (which
category also includes petro glyphs, or
engravings), found on the wall or
ceilings of caves. The term usually
implies prehistoric origin, but cave
paintings can also be of recent
production: In the Gabarnmung cave of
northern Australia, the oldest paintings
certainly predate 28,000 years ago,
while the most recent ones were made
less than a century ago.
Papyrus in Egypt
- is a material similar to thick paper that
was used in ancient times as a writing
surface. It was made from the pith of the
papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus, a
wetland sedge.[1] Papyrus (plural: papyri)
can also refer to a document written on
sheets of such material, joined together
side by side and rolled up into a scroll,
an early form of a book.
(1700-1930’s)
Industrial Age
Telegraph
- is the long-distance transmission of
textual messages where the sender uses
symbolic codes, known to the recipient,
rather than a physical exchange of an
object bearing the message. Thus flag
semaphore is a method of telegraphy,
whereas pigeon post is not.
Ancient signalling systems, although
sometimes quite extensive and
sophisticated as in China, were generally
not capable of transmitting arbitrary text
messages. Possible messages were fixed
and predetermined and such systems are
thus not true telegraphs.
Punched Cards
-is a piece of stiff paper that can be used
to contain digital data represented by the
presence or absence of holes in
predefined positions. Digital data can be
used for data processing applications or,
in earlier examples, used to directly
control automated machinery.
(1930-1950)
Electronic Age
Transistor Radio
is a small portable radio
receiver that uses transistor-
based circuitry. Following
their development in 1954, made
possible by the invention of the
transistor in 1947, they became
the most popular electronic
communication device in history,
with billions[1] manufactured
during the 1960s and 1970s.
Televison
-sometimes shortened
to tele or telly, is a
telecommunication medium used
for transmitting moving images
in monochrome (black and
white), or in color, and in two
or three dimensions and sound.
The term can refer to a television
set, a television program ("TV
show"), or the medium
of television transmission.
Television is a mass medium for
advertising, entertainment and
news.
(1900-2000’s)
Information Age
Youtube in 2005
-was created by PayPal employees as
a video-sharing website where users
could upload, share and view
content.[1] The Internet domain name
" www.youtube.com " was activated on
Monday, February 14, 2005, at 9:13 p.m.
-was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve
Chen, and Jawed Karim, when they
worked for PayPal.[3] Prior to working
for PayPal, Hurley studied design at
the Indiana University of Pennsylvania;
Chen and Karim studied computer
science together at the University of
Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.
Facebook in 2004
-is an American online social
media and social networking
service company based in Menlo Park,
California. It was founded by Mark
Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard
College students and roommates Eduardo
Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin
Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. It is
considered one of the Big Fourtechnology
companies along with Amazon, Apple,
and Google.[10][11]
