The printing press, by Gutenberg, has grown immensely since the 15th century. It went from being in a few towns in present day Germany to almost all over Europe in a matter of 30 years (Doc. 2). Although the printing press was such a revolutionary achievement, the most important consequences were the dissemination of the words and ideas of the people and educating more citizens. Also it began to stir up conflicts among the beliefs of the churches over time.
Effects of Mass Media Mercedes Barlow HUM/186 June 28, 2013 Professor Johnson Effects of Mass Media Throughout the previous era there were numerous major occurrences in the evolution of mass media. These developments consist of print, electronic, and digital eras that now include present-day media. These three eras notably have affected American culture and economics, while guiding a new customary of mass communications. At that time, the printing press was introduced. The printing press was a corporation of machine duplication, rapid duplication, and faster production.
Governmental agencies became involved in the steamboats with Fulton and Livingston when their Monopoly took over waterways, restricting the travel up and down the Hudson Years after the Civil War saw major technological industrialization and advances like the railroad. The technological advances made it possible to start America's westward expansion and economic development by connecting the frontier with the industrial, financial, and political centers of the East . Americans began to rely upon technological advancements like the railroad, electrical power, and telephone systems for economic and/or social growth and development. Shortly following the same groups of inventors took on land travel. By putting strong constantly modified steam engines in the first
It was invented by Henry Cort at Fontley in Hampshire in 1783–84 and ninety years after Cort's invention, an American labour newspaper recalled the advantages of his system. ‘This invention has helped millions and also created a lot of jobs in the iron industry ‘. 2. Why did British industry change in 1750-1900? The Industrial Revolution dramatically changed not just Britain but the whole world.

Week 1 Assignment Telecommunications Evolution Time-line MARVIN SORTOR NTC/362 Dorein Pfeil The beginning of the telecommunication industry started with a dream and some determination on a man named Alexander Graham Bell. In 1867 Bell invented the telephone the first hard-lined device. As the years went on other inventors tried to duplicate the wonders of the telephone communications device. In 1899 the name of Bell Telephone Company changed to American Telephone and Telegraph or (AT&T) as we know it today. The year 1934 marked a highlight in
Ch.11 Review Industrial Revolution Industrial Revolution is a series of improvements in industrial technology that transformed the process of maufacturing goods and it started in Europe in the late 1700's and was a cause of population growth between 1750 and 1950. The development of factories was due to the steam engine, patented in 1769 by James Watt. The iron industry was first to increase production through extensive use of Watt's steam engine. Coal was the next product that benefited the iron and steel manufacturing required energy to operate the blast furnaces and steam engines and coal was the answer for this. The new engineering profession made its biggest impact on transportation especially canals and rail ways.
More inventions came about from 1947 to 1949. In 1947, Elmer’s Glue-all was introduced in the United States. In that same year, mobile phones were first invented but were not commercially sold until 1983. In 1948, the first long-playing phonograph was introduced by Columbia Records. Bell Laboratories invented the transistor.
Antonio Meucci was an Italian inventor and also a friend and associate of the Italian nationalist Giuseppe Garibaldi. Meucci is best known for developing a voice communication apparatus which several sources credit as the first telephone. Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish-American industrialist who led the enormous expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century.
Describe the role technology has played in electronic and digital media in a 700- to 1,050-word paper. Discuss the historical and contemporary roles of media in society. Media has helped identify American culture. The mass media hold communities together by transmitting messages that everyone gets to experience as a whole. For example “When Horance Greeley created a national weekly edition of his New York Tribune in the 1840s, readers throughout the country, even on the remote frontier had something in common”(Chapter 1pg 10).
