Evolution of Media: Traditional to New Media

Are you aware of what is happening in your community? Are you still updated with the current issues
that our country is facing today? If yes, good to hear that! I bet you have your cellphone, television or radio with
you to stay updated on what is happening around. Did you ever wonder how people from the past receive and
deliver information or data?

As media and information evolve throughout the history, it provided people with a better and faster
access to information that is easier to adopt and to manipulate.

Below are the different tools that were used in various eras in the history of communication.

engravings found on cave walls or ceilings around 38 000 BCE.

cuneiform. Cuneiform is one of the oldest forms of writing. This means of
