Traditional Media 05 PAGE People discovered fire, developed paper from plants, and forged weapons and tools with stone, bronze, copper and iron. 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.

ELECTRONIC AGE traditional media 13 PAGE The electronic age started 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. (1930S - 1980S)
EXAMPLE OF MEDIA ELECTRONIC AGE transistor radio A transistor radio is a small portable radio receiver that uses transistor -based circuitry. 14 PAGE

DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNET PAGE WWW.EVOLUTIONOFMEDIA.COM The internet was the work of dozens of pioneering scientists, programmers and engineers who each developed new features and technologies that eventually merged to become the “information superhighway” we know today. 30
DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNET PAGE ARPANET adopted TCP/IP on January 1, 1983. And from there, researchers began to assemble the “network of networks” that became the modern Internet. The online world then took on a more recognizable form in 1990, when computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. The web is different from the internet, it is actually just the most common means of accessing data online in the form of websites and hyperlinks 32
DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNET PAGE The first workable prototype of the Internet came in the late 1960s with the creation of ARPANET, or the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network. Originally funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, ARPANET used packet switching to allow multiple computers to communicate on a single network. 33
BIRTH OF GOOGLE New Media 08 WWW.EVOLUTIONOFMEDIA.COM PAGE The very popular search engine called Google was invented by computer scientists Larry Page and Sergey Brin .
