From the first forms came from inscriptions of important information on stones, wood, and cave walls, and has developed into a technologically influenced system with the invention of printing press. The following graphic depicts the evolution of technology in four major categories: Pre-industrial Age (RED), Industrial Age (YELLOW), Electronic Age (GREEN), and New Media Age (BLUE). ]]> 2021-05-19 18:52:49 UTC https://padlet.com/welliverm/aryobtv82r1yuulk/wish/1541005626 welliverm https://padlet.com/welliverm/aryobtv82r1yuulk/wish/1541060550 With the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg, print media could now be produced in mass quantities.

The creation of magazines came about when publishers of brochures and pamphlets recognized their regular readers who shared similar interest.

Burt, the typewriter was a revolutionary invention for writers of all types. The typewriter allowed authors to do what would take hours by hand, could be typed quickly in minutes (as long as you did not make a mistake). However, it was not until 1874 where the first typewriters were commercialized. Many more advanced models were produced after for greater efficiency and accuracy. ]]> 2021-05-19 20:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/welliverm/aryobtv82r1yuulk/wish/1541243736 welliverm https://padlet.com/welliverm/aryobtv82r1yuulk/wish/1541283139 Alexander Graham Bell made the first telephone call to Thomas Watson, his fellow inventor.

This invention sped up the process of communication, and would transform the way people, communities, businesses, and the world communicates. ]]> 2021-05-19 20:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/welliverm/aryobtv82r1yuulk/wish/1541283139 welliverm https://padlet.com/welliverm/aryobtv82r1yuulk/wish/1541306483 Patented in 1896 by Guglielmo Marconi, the radio made its world appearance in 1901 by sending its first transatlantic signal.
