Meme to meet you,
Today’s post would be talking about the impact media has on
people’s live during the printing period and which period has more impact
caused by the media.
Let’s revise on what is media. Media is a means of mass
communication. Telephones, the internet, television, newspapers are among the
examples of media and we use them in our everyday lives. For entertainment,
sharing information or academic purposes, media is used everywhere in the
world.
A hundred years ago before technology even existed and we
live in wooden houses, when the printing press was invented there was a huge shift
from time-consuming manuscript maker to a print technology that allows huge
numbers of copies of handwritten work to be created quickly, giving easier
access to information and setting the stage for a slow but important
transformation of societal literacy.
The impact was tremendous, people won’t have to consume more
of their time to write copies of a manuscript and could just simply copy the
original one.
It had a great effect on education, with more and more
copies were being printed, it doesn’t take long for these copies to be shared
to the masses. Printed books became an educational aid available to all students
and a better teaching tool than the manuscripts.
The printing press became a catalyst for social and cultural
transformations. It provided a new form of communication and thus, allowing political
and religious views to be spread widely. Which then goes to our next question,
which period has more impact caused by the media?
From my point of view, the period with the most impact
caused by media is the Industrial Revolution. The printing press was responsible
for this particular period, because it helped to push forward the process of
enhancing the production into more machine powered steams.
