Evolution of Media
Media has grown so much over time and it's fun to look back and see where we've come from.
After that, television took off. The mediums became widespread throughout the United States, commercial television networks began to flourish, and color came into the picture in 1951. The growth led to the development of movies, television shows, and more.
We grew from the prehistoric age to the industrial age, electronic age, and now the digital age. From newspapers to landlines to smartphones. Man the digital age is something.
The world’s first electronic television was made by Philo Farnsworth in 1927. His system used a cathode-ray tube and was able to capture moving images using a beam of electrons. The CRT screen allowed for a better picture, which, in turn, helped television become adopted by the public.

We've grown a lot since the 50's. Now we have mobilized computers in laptops. Now we have green and blue text bubbles determining who we want to talk to. This is a real change in our generation. Often we joke about not much happening within our phone's growth and technological advances- it seems like "new and improved" phone ads are showing only various colors as their main selling point.
There are many advancements that we've made, but more significantly I've noticed is not the change in technology, but rather the change in us. The methodology has changed and I can't wait to research more about it to talk about it next week.
Wow! That was insightful and I think so accurate. We as a people are changing as a result of the technology. I think that after that, technology changes again to adapt to our new desires and needs as we have changed. This makes me think for some reason of doorbells. People used to knock and then doorbells which allowed you to be further away and hear and now ring doorbells when you can be across the world and know that someone is on your porch.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true!! I completely agree that it is so astounding to look at how much things have changed within the past years with technology. And when you really take a step back and look, the technology that we use today is truly incredible! We are so blessed to live in an age where we have so much amazing technology, but we also want to make sure that it is changing us for the better at the same time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
