MIL 2💔 Flashcards
During what age?
• about 4.5 million years ago, the early hominids discovered fire, developed paper from plants, and built weapons.
• The prehistoric inhabitants used stone tools and metals as part of their daily
activities like hunting and gathering. They also used crude stone tools to create
things considered rock art.
Pre-Industrial Age
These prehistoric arts were considered the earliest forms of traditional media.
Petroglyphs & pictographs
Examples of Pre-Industrial Age?
• Cave paintings
• Clay tablets
• Papyrus
(also known as “parietal art”) are numerous paintings and engravings found on cave walls or ceilings around 38 000 BCE.
Cave paintings
are used as a writing medium especially for writing in cuneiform.
Clay Tablets
is one of the oldest forms of writing.
Cuneiform
is made from pith of papyrus plant. It is used in ancient times as writing surface to designate documents written on its sheets, rolled up to scrolls.
Papyrus
During what age?
• occurs during the industrial revolution in Great Britain.
• This period brought in economic and societal changes, such as the substitution of handy tools with machines like the power loom and the steam engine
• The transformation of the manufacturing industry, and commercial enterprise for
mass production of various products occurred
• Also, long-distance communication became possible via telegraph, a system used for transmitting messages
Industrial Age (1700s - 1930s)
Examples of Industrial Age?
- Printing Press
- Telegraph
- Motion pictures
is typically used for texts. It is a device that applies pressure to an inked surface resting upon a print medium (like paper or cloth).
Printing press
is used for long-distance communication by transmitting electrical signals over a wire laid between stations.
Telegraphs
(also known as film or movie) is a series of still photos on film, projected in rapid succession onto a screen by means of light.
Motion picture
During what age?
• When people utilized the power of electricity that made electronic devices like transistor radio and television work.
• The creation of the transistor piloted the rise of the electronic age. The power of transistors was used in radio, electronic circuits, and early computers.
• In this period, people made use of air access to communication.
Electronic age (1930s - 1980s)
is a radio receiver which uses transistors to amplify the sound. This can be cheap and small and some usé very little electric power.
Transistor radio
was the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer, completed in 1945.
ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer)
is a computer used primarily by large organizations for critical applications like bulk data processing for tasks such as censuses, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning, and large-scale transaction processing.
Mainframe computer
During what age?
• Is a period also known as the digital age.
• This period signified the use of the worldwide web through an internet connection. Communication became faster and easier with the use of social networks or social media platforms such as Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, among others.
• The rapid technological advancement and innovation with the use of
microelectronics lead to the development of laptops, netbooks, mobile phones, and
wearable technology.
Information Age (1900s - 2000s)
Examples of Information Age?
- Laptop
- Social Network
- WWW
Functions of Communication & Media
- Monitoring Function
- Information Function
- Opinion Function
- Watchdog Role of Journalism
This function inform citizens of what is happening around them.
Monitoring function
This function educate the audience as to the meaning and significance of the “facts”; ability of the media to teach the various norms, rules and values.
Information function
This function provides a platform for public political discourse, facilitating the formation of “public opinion” and feeding that opinion back to the public from whence it came.
Opinion function
Examples of Electronic Age?
- Transistor radio
- ENIAC
- Mainframe computer
