THE EVOLUTION OF MEDIA THROUGH AGES PRE-INDUSTRIAL AGE (BEFORE 1700’S) Pre-Industrial Age (Before 1700's) People had learned or discovered fire, developed paper from plants, and forged weapons and tools with stone, bronze, copper and iron. Clay Tablets in Mesopotamia Cave Painting (35000 BC) (2400 BC) PRE-INDUSTRIAL AGE (BEFORE 1700’S) Pre-Industrial Age (Before 1700's) People had learned or discovered fire, developed paper from plants, and forged weapons and tools with stone, bronze, copper and iron. Papyrus in Egypt (2500 BC) Printing press using wood blocks (220 AD) INDUSTRIAL AGE Industrial Age (1700s-1930s) This were people discovered the used of power steam, developed machine tools, established iron production, and the manufacturing of various products (including books through the printing press) Printing press for mass Newspaper – The London production (19th century) Gazette (1640) INDUSTRIAL AGE Industrial Age (1700s-1930s) This were people discovered the used of power steam, developed machine tools, established iron production, and the manufacturing of various products (including books through the printing press) Typewriter (1800) Motion picture Telephone (1876) photography/projection (1890) INDUSTRIAL AGE Industrial Age (1700s-1930s) This were people discovered the used of power steam, developed machine tools, established iron production, and the manufacturing of various products (including books through the printing press) Motion picture with sounds (1926) ELECTRONIC AGE Electronic Age (1930s-1980s) People invented the transistor ushered in the electronic age. People also harnessed the power of transistors that led them to invent the transistor radio, electronic circuits, and the early computers. Also in this age, long distance communication became more efficient. Transistor radio Television (1941)  ELECTRONIC AGE Electronic Age (1930s-1980s) People invented the transistor ushered in the electronic age. People also harnessed the power of transistors that led them to invent the transistor radio, electronic circuits, and the early computers. Also in this age, long distance communication became more efficient. Large electronic computers – Personal computers – i.e. i.e. EDSAC (1949) and Mainframe computers HewlettPackard 9100A UNIVAC (1951) i.e. IBM 704 (1960) (1968), Apple 1 (1976) INFORMATION AGE Information Age (1970s – 2025s) These were 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.
