EDIA & NFORMATION ITERACY TNHS - SHS Pre – Industrial Age Industrial Age Electronic Age New / Information Age TNHS - SHS TNHS - SHS Before 1700s People discovered fire, developed paper from plants, and forged weapons and tools with stone, bronze, copper and iron. TNHS - SHS Cave paintings (also known as "parietal art") are painted drawings on cave walls or ceilings, mainly of prehistoric origin, dated to some 40,000 years ago (around 38,000 BCE) in Eurasia. Cave Paintings (35,000 BC) TNHS - SHS In the Ancient Near East, clay tablets 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). Clay Tablets in Mesopotamia (2400 BC) TNHS - SHS Papyrus is a material similar to thick paper that was used in ancient times as writing surface. It was made from the pith of the papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus, a wetland sedge. Papyrus in Egypt (2500 BC) TNHS - SHS 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. Acta Diurna in Rome (130 BC) TNHS - SHS Dibao, sometimes called headmen or constables, were local officials in Qing and early Republican China, typically selected from among the prominent landowners. Working in communities of around 100 households, they were charged with overseeing boundaries and land disputes. Dibao in China (2nd Century) TNHS - SHS A codex, plural codices, is a book constructed of a number of sheets of paper, vellum, papyrus, or similar materials, with hand-written contents. Codex in Mayan Region (5th Century) TNHS - SHS 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. Printing Press Using Wood Blocks (220 AD) TNHS - SHS TNHS - SHS 1700s to 1930s People used the power of steam, developed machine tools, established iron production, and the manufacturing of various products (including books through the printing press) TNHS - SHS Printing Press for Mass Production (1900) TNHS - SHS The London Gazette is one of the official journals of record or Government gazettes of the British government, and the most important among such official journals in the United Kingdom. The London Gazette claims to be the oldest surviving English newspaper and the oldest continuously published Newspaper – The London Gazette newspaper in the UK (1740) TNHS - SHS An electric, electronic, or manual machine with keys for producing printlike characters one at a time on paper inserted around a roller. Typewriter (1800) TNHS - SHS A system that converts acoustic vibrations to electrical signals in order to transmit sound, typically voices, over a distance using wire or radio. Telephone (1876) TNHS - SHS A sound film is a motion picture with synchronized sound, or sound technologically coupled to image, as opposed to a silent film. The first known public exhibition of projected sound films took place in Paris in 1900, but decades passed before sound motion pictures were made commercially Motion Picture with Sound practical. (1890) TNHS - SHS A film, also called a movie, motion picture, theatrical film, or photoplay, is a series of still images which, when shown on a screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon. Commercial Motion Picture (1913) TNHS - SHS A system for transmitting messages from a distance along a wire, especially one creating signals by making and breaking an electrical connection. Telegraph TNHS - SHS A card perforated according to a code, for controlling the operation of a machine, used in voting machines and formerly in programming and entering data into computers. Punch Cards TNHS - SHS TNHS - SHS 1930s to 1980s The invention of the transistor ushered in the electronic age. People harnessed the power of transistors that led to the transistor radio, electronic circuits, and the early computers In this age, long distance communication became more efficient TNHS - SHS A transistor radio is a small portable radio receiver that uses transistor-based circuitry. Transistor Radio TNHS - SHS A television is a system for transmitting visual images and sound that are reproduced on screens, chiefly used to broadcast programs for entertainment, information, and education. Television (1941) TNHS - SHS Was amongst the earliest electronic general-purpose computers made. It was Turing-complete, digital and able to solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming. Large Electronic Computers TNHS - SHS Mainframe computers (colloquially referred to as "big iron") are computers used primarily by large organizations for critical applications, bulk data processing, such as census, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning, and transaction processing. Mainframe Computers (1960) TNHS - SHS Apple Computer 1, also known later as the Apple I, or Apple-1, is a desktop computer released by the Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) in 1976. It was designed and hand-built by Steve Wozniak. Wozniak's friend Steve Jobs had the idea of selling the computer. Personal Computers TNHS - SHS The Apple II (stylized as apple ][) is an 8-bit home computer and one of the world's first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products, designed primarily by Steve Wozniak (Steve Jobs oversaw the development of the Apple II's foam-molded plastic case and Rod Holt developed the switching power supply). Apple II TNHS - SHS TNHS - SHS 1900s to 2000s 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 digitized. TNHS - SHS Web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on Google Chrome Mozilla Firefox Safari the World Wide Web. Opera Microsoft Edge Internet Explorer Web Browsers TNHS - SHS A blog (shortening of “weblog”) is an online journal or informational website displaying information in the reverse chronological order, with latest posts appearing first. It is a platform where a writer or even a group of writers share their views on an individual subject. Blogs TNHS - SHS Microblog is a combination of blog and instant message that allows users to create short messages to be posted and shared with an audience online. Microblogs TNHS - SHS Social Network is a network of social interactions and personal relationships. Social Networks TNHS - SHS YouTube is a video sharing service where users can create their own profile, upload videos, watch, like and comment on other videos. Video TNHS - SHS Virtual Reality is a computer-generated simulation of a three- dimensional image or environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way by a person using special electronic equipment, such as a helmet with a screen inside Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality or gloves fitted with sensors. TNHS - SHS Video chat is an online face- to-face, visual communication performed with other Internet users by using a webcam and dedicated software. Video chat is also known as video conferencing and video calling. Video Chat TNHS - SHS Search Engine is a program that searches for and identifies items in a database that correspond to keywords or characters specified by the user, used especially for finding particular sites on the World Wide Web. Search Engines TNHS - SHS A portable computer is a computer designed to be easily moved from one place to another and included a display and keyboard. Portable Computers TNHS - SHS Wearable technology is a category of electronic devices that can be worn as accessories, embedded in clothing, implanted in the user's body, or even tattooed on the skin. The devices are hands-free gadgets with practical uses, powered by microprocessors and enhanced with the ability to send and receive data via the Internet. Wearable Technology TNHS - SHS Thank You.
