    Evolution Of Media

    -By Chhavi Khanduja

    Media is an integral part of all our lives. Besides providing information it has also become a source for
    great entertainment over the years. But when did it emerge? How did all of this happen ? Let’s go
    through that.

    The beginning of human communication dates back


    to the ancient cave paintings , drawn maps, and
    writing. Papyrus and Role are some of the earliest
    forms of writing. Papyrus appeared in Egypt whereas
    Role originated in China in the year 123 A.C.
    Diamond sutra was the 1st book printed in the
    wooden blocks , it was printed in China in 6C.E.

    Gutenberg was the first European to use the first printing press in 1493.
    Gutenberg’s press and others of its era in Europe owed much to the
    medieval paper press, which was in turn modelled after the ancient wine-
    and-olive press of the Mediterranean era. Gutenberg used his press to print
    an edition of the Bible in 1455. With mass printing available newspaper
    could be made in the 1640 in England, London Gazette was the first
    commercial newspaper in 1666.

    After the newspaper , phonograph was invented , patented by


    Thomas Edison in 1877. With invention of phonograph people could
    finally store and transmit audio. Then came the era of photographs
    or cameras. George Eastman who founded the Eastman Kodak
    Company in 1892 made cameras more available in public in 1888. In
    1894 with the invention of Radio – a wireless and paperless
    transmission could take place. Nikola Tesla was most likely the 1st
    company to do it.
    The first movie show to take place was in the first movie
    theatre in New York in the year of 1896. With that , videos
    could be stored and transmitted. The first full length film of
    12 minutes was the “ Great Train Robbery ”made in 1903.
    This paved the way for television which came first black and
    white invented by Phlio Farnsworth in 1928 and then
    coloured in 1936.

    Thus began the era of computers , first of all business computers


    were invented in 1964 which were huge. Then in 1971 Sony made
    the first VCR publically. In 1976 Apple I and Apple II were
    released. Computers have then advanced rapidly . They have
    come from massive machines to small laptops with more power.
