Pre-industrial Age:
Before the 1700s, people discovered fire and
developed paper. Communication was primarily
oral and handwritten, with limited reach and
speed.
Examples:
Example:
• Transistor radio
• Television (1941)
• Large electronic computers (1949)
New/information Age
In recent decades, we've witnessed the rise of
digital media. The internet, social media, and
mobile devices have transformed
communication. Information flows instantly,
and interactivity is at our fingertips. Vlogs,
podcast, streaming services, and user-
generated content redefined how we engage
with media.
Examples:
• Webrowsers: Mosaic (1993), Internet explorer
(1995)
• Vlogs: blogspot (1999), live journal (1999),
WordPress (2003)
• Social Media: friendster (2002), multiply (2003),
Facebook (2004)
• Microblogs: Twitter (2006), Tumblr (2007)
• Video: Youtube (2005)

Impact and Challenge
Traditional Media, rooted in history and
depth, contrasts with the immediacy and
interactivity offered by digital platforms. The
ongoing evolution of media continually
reshapes how individuals engage with
information and content, challenging norms
and redefining societal interactions with
media.
