Telephone was still in its infancy. In 1912 very
few households had a phone of their own. If
you needed to make a call you’d need to find a
store or neighbor that had one. At this time
they were still three years away from the first
coast to coast, international phone call.
Telegram was still the most common way to
send a message if it was urgent and/or
needed to be sent long distance

Cave Paintings (35,000 BC)

In prehistoric art, the term

“cave paintings” encompasses
any parietal art which
involves the application of
color pigments on the walls,
floors or ceilings of ancient
rock shelters.

Papyrus in Egypt (2500 BC)

The first papyrus was only used

in Egypt, but by about 1000 BC
people all over West Asia began
buying papyrus from Egypt and
using it, since it was much more
convenient than clay tablets.
People made papyrus in small
sheets and then glued the sheets
together to make big pieces.

9
Clay Tablets In Mesopotamia
(2400, BC)
In the Ancient Near East, clay
tablets (Akkadian tuppu) were
used as a writing medium,
especially for writing in
cuneiform, throughout the
Bronze Age and well into the Iron
Age. Cuneiform characters were
imprinted on a wet clay tablet
with a stylus often made of reed
(reed pen).
10
Acta Diurna in Rome (130 BC)

Acta Diurna were daily Roman

official notices, a sort of daily
gazette. They were carved on
stone or metal and presented in
message boards in public places
like the Forum of Rome. They
were also called simply Acta. The
first form of Acta appeared
around 131 BC during the Roman
Republic.
11
Dibao in China (2nd Century)

The Chinese “Dibao” is the earliest and

oldest newspaper in the world. During
West Han time, Han government carried
out the “Jun xian zhi”, the eparch and
county system which is helpful in
concentrating the central power. The
country was divided into many eparches
and counties but governed by the central
government as a whole. Every eparch sets
up its office in the capital Chang’an, which
has the same function as the provincial
office in today Beijing. These offices were
called “Di”s.
12
Dibao in China (2nd Century)

“Di” Officers are selected by the

eparchial government. Their
responsibilities included collecting the
messages announced by the
administrative agents or even the
empire, then writing them on the
bamboo placard or the damask, and
deliver them to their shire leaders via
the early post station for reading. So
these placards or damasks with
information were called “Dibao”s
13
Printing Press using Wood Blocks
(220 AD)
Woodblock printing is a
technique for printing text,
images or patterns used widely
throughout East Asia and
originating in China in antiquity
as a method of printing on
textiles and later paper. Prior to
the invention of woodblock
printing, seals and stamps were
used for making impressions.
14
Codex in the Mayan Region
(5th Century)
Maya codices (singular codex) are
folding books written by the pre-
Columbian Maya civilization in Maya

bark cloth. … The Maya developed
their huun-paper around the 5th
century, which is roughly the same
time that the codex became
predominant over the scroll in the
Roman world.

which certain statutory notices are
required to be published. The London
Gazette claims to be the oldest
surviving English newspaper.

17
Typewriter (1800)

The first typewriter to be

commercially successful was
invented in 1868 by Americans
Christopher Latham Sholes, Frank
Haven Hall, Carlos Glidden and
Samuel W. Soule in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, although Sholes soon
disowned the machine and refused
to use, or even to recommend it.

18
Telegraph (1840s)

Developed in the 1830s and

1840s by Samuel Morse (1791-
1872) and other inventors, the

worked by transmitting electrical
signals over a wire laid between
stations.

19

other sounds telegraphically,” a
device he called the telephone.

20
Printing Press (19th Century)

A printing press is a device for

applying pressure to an inked surface
resting upon a print medium (such as
paper or cloth), thereby transferring
the ink. The printing press was
invented in the Holy Roman Empire
by the German Johannes Gutenberg
around 1440, based on existing screw
presses.

21
Motion Pictures
Photography/Projection (1890)
The history of film technology
traces the development of film
technology from the initial
development of "moving

century to the present time.
Motion pictures were initially
exhibited as a fairground novelty.

22
Punch Cards (1890s)

The standard punched card,

for use in the 1890 census.

23
Motion Pictures with Sound (1913)

A sound film is a motion picture

with synchronized sound, or
sound technologically coupled to
image, as opposed to a silent

apparatus known, just like his
1895 system, as the
Kinetophone.

Older TVs had a large cathode ray tube in a
large wooden frame and sat on the floor
like furniture. Newer TVs are much lighter
and flatter.
26

1947, they became the most popular
electronic communication device in
history, with billions manufactured
during the 1960s and 1970s.

27
ENIAC (1946)

ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator

And Computer) was the world’s first
general-purpose computer.

ENIAC was designed and built for the

United States Army to calculate artillery
firing tables. However, it was ENIAC’s
power and general-purpose
programmability that excited the public’s
imagination. When it was announced in
1946, ENIAC was referred to in the media
as a “giant brain.”
28
ENIAC (1946)

ENIAC weighed 30 tons and

covered an area of about 1,800
square feet. In contrast, a current
smartphone weighs a few
ounces and is small enough to
slip into a pocket.

29
EDSAC (1949)

The Electronic delay storage

automatic calculator (EDSAC) was an
early British computer. Inspired by
John von Neumann's seminal First
Draft of a Report on the EDVAC, the
machine was constructed by Maurice
Wilkes and his team at the University
of Cambridge Mathematical
Laboratory in England. EDSAC was the
second electronic digital stored-
program computer to go into regular
service.
30
UNIVAC 1 (1951)

The UNIVAC I (UNIVersal Automatic

Computer I) was the first commercial
computer produced in the United States.
It was designed principally by J. Presper
Eckert and John Mauchly, the inventors of
the ENIAC. Design work was started by
their company, Eckert–Mauchly Computer
Corporation (EMCC), and was completed
after the company had been acquired by
Remington Rand. In the years before
successor models of the UNIVAC I
appeared, the machine was simply
known as "the UNIVAC".
31
IBM 704 (1960)

The IBM 704, introduced by IBM in

1954, is the first mass-produced
computer with floating-point

regarded as "pretty much the only
computer that could handle complex
math."

Apple I was Apple's first
product.

Virtual reality (VR) is an interactive computer-generated

experience taking place within a simulated environment. It
incorporates mainly auditory and visual feedback, but may
also allow other types of sensory feedback like haptic. This
immersive environment can be similar to the real world or it
can be fantastical. Augmented reality systems may also be
considered a form of VR that layers virtual information over a
live camera feed into a headset or through a smartphone or
tablet device giving the user the ability to view three-
dimensional images.

⊳ IoT involves extending Internet connectivity beyond standard devices, such
as desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets, to any range of traditionally
dumb or non-internet-enabled physical devices and everyday objects.
Embedded with technology, these devices can communicate and interact
over the Internet, and they can be remotely monitored and controlled.
