History of New Media (from Traditional to New)

I
Irene Joy Eupe単a

The document traces the history of communication technologies from ancient clay tablets and hieroglyphs used around 1500 BCE, to modern digital technologies like smartphones, social media, and e-books. It discusses early writing methods using clay tablets and parchment, followed by developments in telegraphy, telephony, radio, television, and computers that expanded long-distance communication. Key inventions discussed include the electric telegraph in 1774, typewriter in 1829, telephone in 1876, radio in 1894, television in 1927, and the internet and smartphones in the late 20th century.

History of New Media (from Traditional to New)
1,560 BCE Clay Tablets 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. This means of communicating was used for over 3000 years in fifteen different languages. Sumerians, Babylonians and Eblaites all had their own clay tablet libraries The clay tablet was thus being used by scribes to take down the events of what was happening during his time.
1,561 BCE Traditional Paper/Parchment Parchment is a writing material made from specially prepared untanned skins of animalsprimarily sheep, calves, and goats. It has been used as a writing medium for over two millennia. Vellum is a finer quality parchment made from the skins of kids, lambs, and young calves. Communication grew faster as now there was a way to get messages across just like mail.
1,559 BCE Egyptian hieroglyphs Were the formal writing system used in Ancient Egypt. It combined logographic, syllabic and alphabetic elements, with a total of some 1,000 distinct characters
1,558 BCE Body Art Tattooing is basically a body art, through which people accentuate and enhance the look of the body. In the history of art, prehistoric art is all art produced in preliterate, prehistorical cultures beginning somewhere in very late geological history, and generally continuing until that culture either develops writing or other methods of record-keeping, or makes significant contact with another culture that has. Body Art makes some record of major historical events.
1,557 BCE Rock Carving Rock art is a rather vague term which denotes prehistoric man- made markings on natural stone. Similar terms include rock carvings, rock engravings, rock inscriptions, rock drawings and rock paintings. It is similar to the cave painting which is also used to communicate with man during prehistoric age
1,556 BCE PreHistoric Age Cave Painting Cave paintings also known as "parietal art" are painted drawings on cave or rock walls and ceilings, mainly of prehistoric origin, dated to some 40,000 years ago (around 38,000 BCE) in Eurasia The beginning of human communication dates back to ancient cave paintings, drawn maps, and writing
Apr 4, 1774 Industrial age Electric Telegraph Electric Telegraph uses electric signals to send communication via radio or line. This was used as a communication of people but only inside the same country.
Apr 4, 1829 Type writer This was the most important device during those days used by editors in newspapers. This was important because this helped Industrial Revolution by providing fast information from the reporters to the editors which then later, published to the citizen. This was invented by W.S Burt in 1829.
Apr 4, 1837 Telegraph Another telegraph was invented by Samuel Morse. The use of this telegraph is almost the same as electric telegraph. This was used for communications during those days.
Apr 4, 1867 Modern Typewriter Christopher Scholes invented the first practical and modern typewriter during the 1867s. This was the improvement of the old typewritter but the function of it is similar. It is used by the editors and reporters to spread informations to the people living inside the country.
Apr 4, 1876 Telephone The first telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell. This device allowed people to communicate with other people living in a longer distance. This made communication easier between business men during the Industrial Revolution
Apr 4, 1877 Phonograph Phonograph was first invented by Thomas Alfa Edison. This tool was used for communication before the telephone was invented. People were amazed by how they can hear a dead man's voice who was thought to be gone forever only by this simple tool.
Jul 12, 1878 Printing Press 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. Typically used for texts, the invention and spread of the printing press was one of the most influential events in the second millennium
Aug 4, 1878 Tape recorder An audio tape recorder, tape deck or tape machine is an analog audio storage device that records and plays back sounds, including articulated voices, usually using magnetic tape, either wound on a reel or in a cassette, for storage. In its present-day form, it records a fluctuating signal by moving the tape across a tape head that polarizes the magnetic domains in the tape in proportion to the audio signal. Tape-recording devices include reel-to- reel tape deck and the cassette deck.
Jun 5, 1881 Newspaper A newspaper is a serial publication containing news about current events, other informative articles about politics, sports, arts, and so on, and advertising. A newspaper is usually, but not exclusively, printed on relatively inexpensive, low-grade paper such as newsprint.
Feb 28, 1882 Magazine A magazine is a publication, usually a periodical publication, which is printed or electronically published (sometimes referred to as an online magazine). Magazines are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three.
Oct 5, 1894 Radio Radio is a way to send electromagnetic signals over a long distance, to deliver information from one place to another. A machine that sends radio signals is called a transmitter, while a machine that "picks up" the signals is called a receiver. A machine that does both jobs is a "transceiver"
Sep 7, 1927 Television A television is a machine with a screen. Televisions receive broadcast signals and turn them into pictures and sound.
May 4, 1943 Computer A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out an arbitrary set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. The ability of computers to follow generalized sequences of operations, called programs, enable them to perform a wide range of tasks.
Jun 5, 1949 Digital Books An electronic book (or e- book) is a book publication made available in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, readable on the flat-panel display of computers or other electronic devices. Although sometimes defined as "an electronic version of a printed book", some e- books exist without a printed equivalent.
Apr 3, 1973 Cellphone A portable usually cordless telephone for use in a cellular system. It is also a a portable telephone that connects to other telephones by radio through a system of transmitters each of which covers a limited geographical area
Jun 2, 1991 WIFI Wi-Fi is a way of connecting to a computer network using radio waves instead of wires.
Sep 4, 1995 Smartphone A smartphone is a mobile phone that can do more than other phones. They work as a computer but are mobile devices small enough to fit in a user's hand.
Mar 4, 1997- to present Social Media social media are computer- mediated technologies that facilitate the creation and sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks. The variety of stand-alone and built-in social media services currently available introduces challenges of definition; however, there are some common features
