Pre-Historic Age (Before 1700s) - People discovered fire,

developed paper from plants, and forged weapons and (The students give examples)
tools with stone, bronze, copper and iron.
• Cave paintings
Okay who can guess and give what are the equipment use • Clay tablets in Mesopotamia
by people for communication during this age? • Papyrus in Egypt
• Acta Diurna in Rome

• Printing press using wood blocks

Super like! so this is the pictures of those following

examples:

Cave painting (35,000 BC) Clay tablets in Mesopotamia

(2400 BC)

Papyrus in Egypt (2500 BC) Acta Diurna in rome(130

BC)
Dibao in China(2nd century) Codex in the Mayan region
(5th Century)

Printing press using wood blocks (220 AD)

(The students give examples)

Industrial Age (1700s-1930s) - People used the power of • Printing press for mass production
steam, developed machine tools, established iron • Newspaper- The London Gazette
production, and the manufacturing of various products • Typewriter
(including books through the printing press). • Motion picture photography/projection
• Commercial motion pictures
• Motion picture with sound
• Telegraph
• Punch cards

• Printing press for mass production (19th century)

Newspaper- The London Gazette (1640)

Typewriter (1800)
Motion picture photography/projection
(1890)

Commercial motion pictures (1913)

Telegraph

Punch cards

Electronic Age (1930s-1980s) - The invention of the transistor

ushered in the electronic age. People harnessed the power of
transistors that led to the transistor radio, electronic circuits, and
the early computers. In this age, long distance communication
became more efficient.

(The student gives an examples)

• Transistor Radio
• Television
• Large electronic computers
Radio Television • Mainframe computers
• Personal computers
• OHP, LCD projectors

OHP, LCD projectors

Digital Age (1900s-2000s) - The Internet paved the way for

faster communication and the creation of the social network.
People advanced the use of microelectronics with the invention
of personal computers, mobile devices, and wearable
technology. Moreover, voice, image, sound and data are
digitalized. We are now living in the information age.

age?

How about of a media during industrial age?

Student: Cave paintings and Clay tablets

Electronic age? Student: Newspaper and Typewriter

Now who can give me examples of a media during Digital age? Student: Transistor Radio, Television.

Very good class! Student: Portable computers, laptops

Netbooks, tablets, smart phones.
G. VALUING

Now that you already knew the chronological arrangement of

evolution of media. What do you think is the difference from the
ancient times and modern era when it comes to communication
and the way we lived our lives? Who can make a guess?

Student: Ma’am I do observe that during the ancient

Knowing that this media has an advantages and disadvantages.
Can we say that technological media are 50 percent boon and 50
percent bane?
times, people have difficulty to disseminate
information and contact each other. And in terms of
living although that people do lack entertainment yet
they can focus on the little and valuable information
that they get. And in connection to our modern times
I can say that we are technologically superior and
the communication is very fast, we are bombarded
with too much information that we have to the point
that we cannot see what is true and not. In terms of
the way we lived, we lived in a much more
comfortable and prettier easy lifestyle compared to
the lives then, but we also get easily pretty distracted
With all the entertainment that is available to us,
neglecting sometimes the much more valuable
activity!

Student: I don’t think sir we should consider media’s

Great answer! as negative because we know the fact that they are
made for the betterment of human life, we people
sometimes just misused them that we consider them
negative, but if we are talking to the use of all this
media. We should consider them as an evolving tool
that is made for human convenience.
