PRE HISTORIC ERA 200,000 BCE-4000 BCE This particular period, the usage of smoke, the usage of fire, and the usage of horn was one of their systems or ways in order for them to communicate PETROGLYPHS - illustrations by abolishing part of rock surface by incising or carving, as a form of rock art. (Earliest form of media) CAVE PAINTINGS - (also known as "parietal art") are painted drawings on cave walls or ceilings. (40,000-BCE to 38000-BCE) in both Asia and Europe (blood of animals or extract from the plant) DANCE - dancing before the god was fundamental in temple rituals. This will honor or this will glorify their gods/the way of communicating to their gods BODY ART - a momentous part of social, spiritual and personal expression.

CUNEIFORM SCRIPT Is one of the earliest schemes of writing, identified by its wedge-shaped marks on clay tablets, built by means of a blunt reed for a stylus. This was in use for more than three millennia, through several points of development (34th century BCE-2nd Century CE) (Has pattern & system) b. EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHS - an orderly writing system used by the ancient Egyptians that combined anagrammed and alphabetic elements. Egyptians used cursive hieroglyphs for religious ARTICLES ON PAPYRUS and wood. (Object type of character) ALPHABET a. PHOENICIAN ALPHABET - called by tradition the Proto-Canaanite alphabet for epitaphs older than around 1050 BCE, is the oldest confirmed alphabet. It contains 22 letters, of all which are consonants. It was acquired from Egyptian hieroglyphs and became one of the most extensively used writing systems, spread by Phoenician merchants across the Mediterranean world. (The first alphabet introduce /the oldest confirm alphabet) b. GREEK ALPHABET - was derived from the Phoenician alphabet. Then, the Greeks acclimated it to their own Language, creating in the development the first ''true'' alphabet, in which vowels bestowed balanced status with consonants.(the first true alphabet /vowels was introduce) military alphabet According to Greek legends addressed by Herodotus, the alphabet was carried from Phoenicia to Greece by Cad mos. DRAMA Was introduce /a form of media or media tool/educating younger generation Is the clear-cut mode of narrative, commonly fictional, served in performance? Western drama comes from classical Greece. The theatrical culture of the city the state of Athens generated three genres: tragedy, comedy and the satyr play. By 5th century BCE they were regulated in competitions held as part of festivities celebrating the god Dionysus. PAPE.R (as tool for communication) Grammatically derived from "papyrus" An ancient Greek for the CYPERUS PAPYRUS plant. PAPYRUS is a chunky, paper-like matter produced from the core of the CYPERUS PAPYRUS plant which was used in ancient Egypt and Mediterranean cultures for writing way before the paper making in China (2nd century CE by CAI LUN). Mayans used a similar bark-paper writing material not later than 5th century CE, called "AMATL". (The system of paper started) The first papermaking process was documented in China during the Han period (25-220 CE). CAI LUN introduced the process of paper making which Eventually spread out to some parts of the world. INDUSTRIAL ERA 1440-1890 THE FIRST MECHANICAL WAS INTRODUCE 1. PRINTING PRESS - is an apparatus for administering pressure to an inked surface recessing upon a print medium (Such as paper or cloth), thereby transferring the ink. The invention and spread of the printing press was one of the most prominent events in the second millennium. The printing press was invented in the Holy Roman Empire by the German JOHANNES GUTENBERG around 1440. He developed an entire printing system, which fulfilled the printing operation through all its stages. During this period one of the first products was earliest version of the bible The first bible was printed 2. DRY PLATES - work of Desire van Monck oven, the Collodion dry plates had been accessible since 1855. But it was not until the contraption of the gelatin dry plate in 1871 by Richard Leach Maddox that the wet plate process could be a match in quality and speed. 3. TELEGRAPHY - is the long-distance broadcast of textual or symbolic messages. It is without the corporeal exchange of an object bearing the message. It necessitates that the technique used for encoding the message both be known sender and receiver. @ An ELECTRICAL TELEGRAPH was self-sufficiently advanced and patented in the US in 1837 by Samuel Morse. His assistant, Alfred Vail, developed the Morse code signaling alphabet with Morse. @ In 1844, with the use of this device, Morse sent the message, "WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT” from the Capitol in Washington to Baltimore. 4. TELEPHONE OR PHONE - is a telecommunications device that allows many users to administer a conversation when they are too far apart to be heard. @ Scottish emigrant ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL patented a device that formed clearly intelligible replication of human voice in 1876. 5. In 1877, PHONOGRAPH - a device designed for the power-driven recording and reproduction of sound-was invented in its later forms it was also called gramophone. @THOMAS EDISON with his phonograph (record or storing and reproduce sound) 6. FILM - also called movie, motion picture, theatrical film or photoplay, is a series of immobile images that when shown on a screen, generates the illusion of moving images. INFORMATION ERA-1906-Present Phone /online/normal radio 1. RADIO - technology of using radio wave to convey information such as sound, by modulating some property of electromagnetic energy waves transferred through space. 2. TELEVISION - telecommunication medium used for transmitting sound with moving pictures. 3. COMPUTER - an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program. 3. INTERNET- is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite to communicate between networks and devices. Introduce as ARPANet after massive success changes name to internet 4. MOBILE PHONE - a portable telephone which can produce and receive calls over a radio frequency carrier.
