MASS MEDIA IN THE

INDUSTRIAL AGE
By Group 2 G12-J Animation & Technical Drafting
The Industrial Age
◦ The Industrial revolution is a period of scientific and
technological development which began in the 18th century. This
period encompasses the widespread transformations that
impacted the largely rural agrarian societies especially in
Europe and North America. These societies were then
urbanized and industrialized as a consequence of the changes in
economical and sociological organizations.
The Industrial Age
◦ Goods or products which were manually crafted before had
started to be manufactured and produced in mass quantities
thanks to the new mechanization or the introduction of new
power-driven machines. There were few innovations that were
developed in the early 1700s but the Industrial revolution began
to a greater extent by the 1830s and 1840s in Britain, and soon
spread to the rest of the countries around the world, including
the United States.
◦ Mass Communication was very significant and vital during the
18th century. The gradual development of mass media became a
major aspect as well during this period of history, as the
introduction of new techniques and machinery in societies
became more widespread. Media is mostly being used to reach
and inform people about prevailing events. The Media is
spreading throughout places in which allows people to be aware
or updated in certain things and makes them come up with
their own ideas or opinions.
 DIFFERENT FORMS OF MEDIA
USED IN THE INDUSTRIAL AGE
AND SOME INVENTIONS WHICH
HAD SIGNIFICANCE DURING
THE TIME
TELEGRAPH

- The telegraph revolutionized long-distance

communication. The telegraph works by
transmitting electrical signals over a wire laid
between stations. In addition to helping invent the
telegraph, the Morse code assigned a set of dots and
dashes to each letter of the English alphabet and
allowed for the simple transmission of complex
messages across telegraph lines.

In the 1830s, the British team of Cooke and

Wheatstone developed a telegraph system with five
magnetic needles that could be pointed around a
panel of letters and numbers by using an electric
current. Their system was soon being used for
railroad signaling in Britain.
TYPEWRITERS

A typewriter is a mechanical or
electromechanical machine for
writing characters similar to those
produced by printer's movable type. A
typewriter operates by means of keys
that strike a ribbon to transmit ink or
carbon impressions onto paper.
Typically, a single character is printed
on each key press.
PRINTING PRESS

A printing press is a mechanical

device for applying pressure to an 
inked surface resting upon a print
 medium (such as paper or cloth),
thereby transferring the ink. It is
typically used for printing texts or
publications, its invention and 
global spread was one of the most
influential events in the second
millennium.
NEWSPAPERS

Newspapers are printed publications that are

usually issued or distributed daily or weekly. It
contains written information about current
events and is often typed in black ink with a
white or grey background. Newspapers can
cover a wide variety of fields such as politics,
business, sports, art, and often include
materials such as opinion columns, weather
forecasts, reviews of local services, obituaries,
birth notices, crosswords, editorial cartoons,
comic strips, and advice columns.
TELEPHONE

A telephone is an instrument designed for

the simultaneous transmission and
reception of the human voice. Telephones
are inexpensive and simple to operate, and
they offer an immediate, personal type of
communication that cannot be obtained
through any other medium. As a result, it
has become the most widely used
telecommunications device in the world.
Billions of telephones are in use around the
world.
MOTION-PICTURE PHOTOGRAPHY

Motion-picture technology is the means for

the production and showing of motion
pictures. It is based on the phenomenon
that the human brain will perceive an 
illusion of continuous movement from a
succession of still images exposed at a rate
above 15 frames per second. It includes not
only the motion-picture camera and
projector but also such technologies as
those involved in recording sound, in
editing both picture and sound, in creating 
special effects, and in producing
animation. The Entertainment industry
began to develop and be effective during
the time.
THAT’S ALL THANK
YOU!
