So this is the history of our precious media. We can clearly see that it took a very long process to make this media successful. We should be thankful that this was created to help make our lives easier. We should always be careful in actions so that this media would become better and would be away from destruction. “If we want preserve something, we should take care of it and stop letting the toxic attitudes of each one of us destroy it” -(WGB , 2019)In the start of time media was a very useful thing for us human beings. We use it to show our feelings and show to other the things that we have delivered. It is also important because we use this media for communicating with other people regardless of our physical presence at that exact location of the reader. Media has a very long history. Media simply started with paintings on the walls of the cave by our ancestors.
On the early stages of media, the people back then use it as a form of art to show the physical characteristics of animals. This was seen on 38,000 BCE where media were cave paintings. They also then use stone tablets to write there religious teachings. Another way that our ancestors communicate were by the use of smokes. Then they discovered writing materials, which made writing easier in the olden days.
On the middle stages of media, the people use it more to gain information about the things happening around them. Example of this is the newspaper where they can see what are the news inside their community. They also have made a way to capture images. Photography started 1826, it science, art, application and practice of creating durable images by recording light. They also made a way to communicate with other people from far away. This was the famous telephone, which we can here in the present. They also made entertainment, which were the Phonograph, Radio, and Television.
On the present stage of media, we can clearly see that almost everyone is an active user of media. We see media all around us because almost everyone also have their own mobile phones. We can gain information around us with just a simple click of our cellphones. We can also talk to people from far away with our modern technology and that is not the best part, the best part would be we can bring this cellphone around us easily unlike the middle and early stages of media, which was hard to carry from place to place. We can simply say that the present stage of media is just the sum of the previous media but it became better.
So this is the history of our precious media. We can clearly see that it took a very long process to make this media successful. We should be thankful that this was created to help make our lives easier. We should always be careful in actions so that this media would become better and would be away from destruction. “If we want preserve something, we should take care of it and stop letting the toxic attitudes of each one of us destroy it” -(WGB , 2019).
