Long-distance communication became possible via telegraph, a system used for transmitting messages. 4. Electronic Age (1930s 1980s) The electronic age started when people utilized the power of electricity that made electronic devices like transistor radio and television work. The power of transistors was used in radio, electronic circuits, and early computers. In this period, people made use of air access to communication. 5. Information Age (1900s 2000s) The information age is a period also known as the digital age. Signified the use of the worldwide web through an internet connection.

Media convergence is the synergy of communication, computing, and content in the digital world. A smartphone that has a camera, radio, web browser, video, etc. is an example of converged media MEDIA AND INFORMATION SOURCES 1.
