Kim Sarang
Tumblr media
ooc talk: meu nome é lunna, +18, ela/dela. Kim Sarang é uma personagem fictícia! tudo postado por ela é IC, mas caso aja algum desconforto é só vir conversar comigo em ooc.
Quem é Kim Sarang?
Sarang não costuma falar sobre sua vida para além da faculdade, mas corre o boato que sua irmã mais velha é uma atriz famosa e sua mãe é professora em Yale, e que ambas já estudaram na DNU. Os rumores a tornaram uma caloura famosinha na época que entrou na DNU, mas se tem uma coisa na qual Sarang é boa em captar segredos é guarda-los, principalmente os seus.
Mas o que de fato sabem sobre a Sarang?
1) Atualmente estudante de jornalismo (6° período);
2) Estagia em algum lugar;
3) Já foi presidente do Jornal da DNU, mas saiu do cargo por questões pessoais e hoje atua apenas como membro (boatos que ainda toca o terror no jornal);
5) É sempre vista andando de bicicleta pelo campus;
6) Claramente uma pessoa diurna, ninguém sabe exatamente que horas ela acorda ou se arruma mas pode ser encontrada facilmente antes das 07:00 no prédio da ENC;
7) 24 aninhos e libriana;
8) Ama carne;
9) Dizem que ela tem um namorado que está no exército, mas aí já é boato de fórum.
Conexões
BUDDIES!
Sarang foi a responsável por recepcionar a/o MUSE quando ela/e entrou na DNU e também foi quem a/o convidou para a GAMMA. Uma espécie de apadrinhamento.
VINHO 101!
Sarang e MUSE precisavam cursar alguma optativa esse semestre então escolheram Introdução a Vinhos.
RIVAIS!
Sarang e MUSE disputam o posto de queridinho de um/a professor/a específico/a.
TALARICA!
SARANG acabou sendo acusada (em um forúm) de ser a causadora do término de MUSE X e MUSE Y devido a sua proximidade com o/a primeiro/a.
SCARED TO BE LONELY! (f/m/nb & +22)
SARANG e MUSE podem não nutrir nenhum sentimento real um pelo outro, mas quando o sol se põe, os dois sentem a necessidade de estar nos braços de alguém. Compromisso pode ser um tanto assustador, mas ficar sozinho no final da noite parece pior.
are we still friends...? (f/m/nb & +22)
SARANG tentou ter uma amizade colorida com MUSE mas deu tudo errado quando acabou se apaixonando por Muse que não correspondia seus sentimentos. Antes eram amigas/os/us mas hoje em dia elas/es/us são estranhas/os/us.
STARTER CALL ¡ Uma interação aleatória com Sarang (direito a turno).
amizades, one night stands, CRUSH, INTRIGAS, ex namorado/as pq n etc, ela está aberta a todos.

Spanish Vocab List - El bosque de la bruja / The Witch’s Forest

vox is trying to win at capitalism at the expense of everybody else. i suppose his work is largely disconnected from himself — it's not his perfect media that expresses a part of him, but the perfect media for a polled audience. it's his name and face on the tin, but is it really even about him?
Vox has a very weird relationship with his media output. He sees it purely as a way of making money/gaining influence, but will also get super pissy if someone implies that it's artless or low-effort. He's a perfectionist down to his bones; he's not capable of making something low-effort, at least when it comes to the projects he's personally involved in. He values the craft of film/television production too much. He can't help but endlessly pick something apart if it's sloppy or incompetent, but he still comes at his own work with a very capitalistic, means-to-an-end mindset. It's a weird contradiction.

"Media Evolution and the Changing World: Its Implication to Communication and Education"
What’s the importance of communication in education?
Our personal lives, the study intended, and education. This is why it's important to develop good communication skills in students from an early age, and we all must practice effective communication between ourselves. Being a good educator involves excellent communication skills. In addition to providing information, communication also motivates effort, changes attitude, and inspires thoughts. These days there was changes in our communication. Others are using slang words when they communicate with others, and they may adopt it when they are in education. In the absence of it, attitudes develop, communications are misinterpreted, and learning is delayed. Facial expressions can be well known and understood while talking or discussing the issue or topic matter, and the significance of communication to developing body language of both participants can be evaluated in facial expression communication to allow communication.

The Evolution of Social Standards
by Durga Kulkarni.
Psychological Evolution
Why do Social Opinions matter?
Social Expectations
Social Organisations
Psychological Evolution
What is it?
Psychological Evolution, or Evolutionary psychology has roots in Cognitive Psychology and Evolutionary Biology.[1] It focuses on how evolution has shaped the mind and its behavior. It also concentrates on how the main purpose of our lives has shifted, from survival, to contentment. Additionally, it helps us in understanding why we humans behave the way we do, and what are the underlying instincts that we are unaware of which is making us do these things. It also states the importance of human interaction and connection in our lives.
When it comes to human interactions, there are a few default archetypes noticed in each interaction, them being: exchanging information, opinions and expectations. In today's world, during a healthy conversation, we tend to follow these archetypes, for the sake of adding simplicity, purpose and direction to the conversation. This is where social opinions and expectations start affecting us.
Initially, due to the hierarchy that used to exist in the tribes, conversations were very minimal and reserved, but as the tribes kept splitting, and more exchange of information was needed, the people realized that they needed a proper language for their convenience.
The “Pooh-Pooh theory” holds that speech originated from spontaneous human cries and exclamations; the 'Yo-He-Ho theory' suggests that language developed from grunts evoked by physical exertion; while the 'Sing-Song theory/La- La Theory' claims that speech arose from primitive ritual chants and playful songs.[2]
By the time of the Roman civilization, the hierarchy amongst men was very much visible, and was put to use. Along that period, the importance of exemplary words and literature was noticed, and was worked upon by involving a new change bringing item in all the civilians and senators lives; Newspapers (Acta Diurna (Daily Events)). In these newspapers, multiple things were mentioned, including the next political event, the victories. They even had an obituary section in their newspapers. Along with all this information, slowly opinions started seeping into the texts. These opinions helped people in creating a judgment for voting.[3]
By 1600, the social hierarchy was divided into six parts; Monarchy, Nobility, Gentry, Merchants, Yeomen and the Labourers. Due to this, if any judgement was to be made, it would have largely been based on rank.[4]
Then by, about the 1800’s, the social hierarchy was divided into three parts; Upper class, Middle class and the Working class. The Upper class used to consist of the Aristocrats, Nobles, Dukes and other wealthy families working in the Victorian courts.The Middle class consisted of industrial revolutionaries, who have changed our lives. The Working class, lowest among the Victorian social hierarchy were the working class. This class remained aloof to the political progress of the country and was hostile to the other two classes. This working class was further categorised as the skilled workers and the unskilled workers.[5]
In the 2000’s, the hierarchy merged and divided into five social classes; Upper, Upper-Middle, Middle, Working and Lower class. This did not cause as much difference and conflicts as the other classes did in the past. But something else did.
Why do Social Opinions matter?
“Social influence is the process by which individuals adapt their opinion, revise their beliefs, or change their behavior as a result of social interactions with other people.”[6]
When we are in the presence of other people, we like to blend in. To blend in, we abide by a few social norms. These norms help us maintain a calm, mannered and composed personality throughout the day. These norms turn into expectations, expectations turn into opinions and opinions turn into reality. These opinions and expectations, when pondered upon, seem quite irrational, but due to these opinions and expectations being around for a long time, we have grown to accept them, and to some extent, even like them. But then why question it?
The reason being that these opinions and expectations ARE in fact quite irrational and toxic.
Interdependence
We follow these opinions and expectations because we are living in a society that entirely works on being Interdependent. Interdependence is the state of being dependent upon one another (Mutual dependence/Interdependence). For eg. We depend on our neighbours and they depend on us to be welcoming and decent.
To abide by the social expectation of being decent, we usually follow the societal idea of “Decency”, which is being calm, reserved, polite, helpful, straightforward and clean.
Also, other people's evaluations of us is both crucial and necessary to impact behavioral changes, which is what ultimately allows us to gain professionally and personally.
Social Expectations
Each social situation entails its own particular set of expectations about the “proper” way to behave. Social roles are the ‘part people play as members of a social group’. With each social role you adopt, your behavior changes to fit the expectations both you and others have of that role. There are 7 main types of societal roles; Leader, Knowledge Generator, Connector, Follower, Moralist, Enforcer, and Observer.[7]
To explain these roles, we will take a problematic social situation into consideration, to show what exactly each role does.
Leader: Proposes strategies and techniques to conquer a problematic situation. (Leader of a country)
Knowledge Generator: Shares information about the status of the situation. (Advisory)
Connector: Transmits the decisions made by the leader or opinions of other roles. (Media)
Follower: Follows a leader. (Politics)
Moralist: Looks for fair shares for all the other roles. (Law)
Enforcer: Punishes the behavior of other roles. (Army)
Observer: Shares information about the compliance of the behavior of other roles, as well as the role who answers to another observer's request about information about other roles. (General crowd)
We as human beings keep on switching between these roles according to the situation. With these roles, there can be unsaid expectations. Most of the time these expectations are rather helpful than problematic, though there are exceptions. But these exceptions occur only when there’s excess of Destructive criticism, Stratification, Peer Pressure and Mass Hysteria.
Destructive Criticism
Destructive criticism is defined as criticism performed with the intention to harm, derogate and destroy someone's creation, prestige, reputation and self-esteem. It's meant to ridicule, damage and bring the person down.
It is very common on social media. Sometimes it even occurs with your closest peers.
Stratification
Social stratification refers to a society's categorization of its people into rankings of socioeconomic hierarchy based on factors like wealth, income, race, education, sex, and power. The people who have more resources represent the top layer of the social structure of stratification.
This is also widely noticed in public spaces such as schools.
Peer Pressure
Peer pressure is the influence displayed by people within the same social group. It is also the term used to describe the effect this influence has on a person to agree to in order to be accepted by the group. Sometimes peer pressure is used to positively influence people, but most of the time it’s not. Many adolescents fall into the trap of Peer Pressure.
Mass Hysteria
Mass hysteria is a phenomenon that conveys collective illusions of threats, whether real or imaginary, through a population and society as a result of rumors and fear. Mass hysteria occurs anywhere at any time. This is very common during global pandemic.
Social Organisations
In sociology, a social organization is a pattern of relationships between and among individuals and social groups. Characteristics of social organization can include qualities such as sexual composition, spatiotemporal cohesion, leadership, division of labor, communication systems, and so on.
These are the most noticed basis for the Social Organisations; Religion, Gender, Race and Monetary status.
Religion
Religion affects human beings very much. It is the root and base for our mental growth and morals. Religion is a very controversial topic to talk about. Many of them involve multitudes of intricate rituals.
Religions are based on philosophies by spiritual people. These philosophies are more of lifestyles, and when people follow a religion they completely imbibe it, no matter what. This changes their outlook towards social interactions and social opinions. This causes a difference in everyone’s knee-jerk reactions associated with different situations.
Gender
There has always been inequality between the female and male gender. This is called Sexism. Sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on one's sex or gender. Sexism can affect anyone, but it primarily affects women and girls. It has been linked to stereotypes and gender roles. This means in many countries there aren’t equal human rights for both the genders. Even though in few countries there may be basic equal rights for both the genders there always is one favored gender and things like salary and weight of opinion is not the same for the favored gender.
Race
Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits according to physical appearance and can be stratified based on the superiority of one race over another. It may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or hate directed against other people because they are of a different race or ethnicity. Modern Racism is often based in social perceptions of biological differences between people. These views can take the form of social behaviour, practices or beliefs, or political systems in which different races are supposed as ingrained superior or inferior to each other, based on assumed similar inheritable traits, or qualities.
Monetary status
The Monetary status of people has an influence on decisions made by law. It also gives them unrequited privilege to commit minor or major crimes, and evade the consequences. This brings a sentiment of power and pride in them, which then gives them a sense of togetherness.
In summary, this write up covers up the basic Evolution of Communication, the importance of abiding to Social Norms, the Seven basic types of Social Roles, Compelling Social Ideologies that change the perspective of the human mind, and the differences that bring humans together.

Do you have any VoxVel or PolyVees fanfic recs? (Absolutely love your art btw and Especially Love the way you draw Velvette <3 )
you seem like a Velvette fan so im going to prioritise her. there is a terrible dearth of shippy content with her, so i've included some platonic fics that you can squint at.
oversized jackets and the worry that comes with them by Erin_kate is this wonderful fic, part of a series, which covers Velvette's struggles with ED through Vox's point of view. although it isn't tagged as ship there's definitely a read for it, as they're this constant support for each other despite their difficulties. i made fanart for it which you can spot in chapter 1 of snippets of a life worth leading's comment section. however, if you're a Val fan, he isn't the kindest here.
@voxofficial snapped lmao by ckret2, though not tagged as the ship, it's an excellent, hilarious character piece if you're looking for a dynamic and alive relationship between the three of them. it's Velvette's POV as she discusses Vox's Alastor/Pentious Theory Board. Val rocks up halfway through and they're a wonderful romp.
Revelations in Technicolor by Awesome_Possum is domestic and lovely, yet they're still as awful as they should be. in this work, Vox opens up about his past to the rest of the Vees, Velvette's POV.
system takeover by Subedarling, where Velvette has to save Vox and Val when they get kidnapped. shes kicks so much ass in this and the attached art is wonderful. tagged Voxval, but there's a PolyVees read.
blue light dreams by MorningsOfGold get into how hard running a media empire is, and how stressful it can get for Velvette. they snap at each other, but Vox and Val come take care of her when she has a bit of a breakdown. lovely, fluffy PolyVees.
BELOW THE CUT FOR WORKS WITH NSFW
Silken Sparks by passthevoxcord despite just being pwp, there's this injected worldbuilding and discussion of their polyamory and leaves off on a delightfully lewd and loving note. particularly, this author plays with how velvette, a younger woman, would click with Vox and Val's kneejerk dated views in fascinating ways. the main scene is VoxVel, though.
Family Business by passthevoxcord another one of this author. sorry they just always always have fascinating velvette subtext in their smut :( (im not sad about this) !!! in this Velvette considers her own rough childhood and how, almost guiltily, she loves to play house with Vox and Val. the main event is PolyVees but Vox is the hinge so VoxVel and VoxVal. size and age kink. good for them.

yeah my stance is very much 'Val is genuinely vile and probably can't love anyone the way they deserve' and that he wouldn't be able to synthesize a better version of himself for Vox. i love the idea of them using different avenues of abuse to get ahead of each other — like, vox almost certainly artifices situations where Val has to rely on him financially, emotionally and physically and gets a supreme kick of being needed with Val's blindness. he's been playing the long game ever since they became business partners, perhaps pushing Val towards emotional dysregulation, so now, modern-day, Val relies on him entirely (seen in ep 2 where he literally cannot be consoled by anyone else but Vox). Val is simply more overtly abusive.
that being said, my current massive long fic wip (the outline is 30k+ and most of it's skeleton scenes. sigh....) is proudly voxtagram-vintage and is very very much a 'vox is an imperfect victim and angel parasocialises onto the luminous destruction of his life, after voxval turns for the worst in the most horrifying ways possible'. whoops!
I'm actually completely on board with the interpretation that Vox and Val are equally horrible to each other, albeit in different ways. However. Every time I see something vehemently dismissing any possibility of abuse from Val on the basis that Vox is also evil (like victims need to be good people. okay), I am filled with the desire to spitefully only depict Vox as Valentino's victim.

“I’ve never really cared about politics. Never talked about ’em much. But then, last November, the strangest thing happened. There's this guy, being the Emperor, and now there is a horse, loose in the Senate. There is a horse, loose in the Senate. I think eventually everything’s going to be okay, but I have no idea what’s going to happen next. And neither do any of you, and neither do your parents, because there’s a horse loose in the Senate. It’s never happened before, no one knows what the horse is going to do next, least of all the horse. He’s never been in the Senate before, he’s as confused as you are.
There’s no experts. They try to find experts on the Acta Diurna. They’re like, “We’ve talked to a man that once saw a bird in the stables.” Get out of here with that shit! We’ve all seen a bird in the stables. This is a horse loose in the Senate.
When a horse is loose in the Senate, you got to stay updated. So all day long you ask around on the forum, “What’d the horse do?” The updates, they’re not always bad. Sometimes they’re just odd. It’ll be like, “The horse sentenced someone to death?” I didn’t know he knew how to do that.
The creepiest days are when you don’t hear from the horse at all. You’re down discussing the new taxes with your fellow Senators like, “Hey, has anyone… Has anyone heard–” [imitates clopping hooves] Those are those quiet days when people are like, “It looks like the Emperor has finally calmed down.” And then ten seconds later the Emperor is like, “I’m gonna give Incitatus a stable made out of marble, I'm gonna give him a stable of marble and an ivory manger and have servants feed him oats mixed with gold flakes, Incitatus has nice hooves and a long tail, he's a horse!” That’s what I thought you’d say, you dumb fucking Emperor.”

LET US TALK ABOUT THE EVOLUTION OF TRADITIONAL AND NEW MEDIA!
Tumblr media
Through generations to generations media is evolving. The media is becoming more advance, and a lot easier than before. The media is used to communicate, share and gather information that helps people to understand and learn new possibilities. Today we will talk about the EVOLUTION OF TRADITIONAL and NEW MEDIA. 
At the early age, called Pre-Industrial Age (before 1700s) people during that age discovered fire. This is the Age in the history were people developed papers from plant, people learned how to make weapons and tools from stone, bronze, copper and iron. And because of these discoveries people learned the use of media. There are tons of crafts that are made at this age:
Cave Paintings (35,000 BC)
Cave tablets in Mesopotamia (2400 BC)
Papyrus in Egypt (2500 BC)
Acta Diurna in Rome (130BC) 
At Industrial Age, this is the age that people learned the power of steam, they developed machine tools, the production of iron and many products especially the production of books by the process of printing press. People at this age are becoming more innovative, and the media in this age is evolving fast. The production of books is the essential thing they made because of this, information will spread fast and the negative side will be, if the information in those books were reliable or not. This is the age where mass production of machines are developing, and examples of those are: 
Printing Press for Mass Production (19th cent)
Newspaper (The London Gazette in 1640)
Typewriter (1800)
Telephone (1876)
Motion Picture Photography/Projection (1890)
Commercial Motion Pictures (1913)
Motion Picture with Sound (1926)
Telegraph
Punch Cards
The third age of the evolution of media is the Electronic Age. This is the age, where electricity joined the machines. The electricity will give power and generates the machines. Because of electricity, electronic devices are made just like transistor, radio, electric circuits, and early computers and the most important thing is that long communication made easier. The long communication is a struggle because the sharing of information is slow, but because of the electronic devices powered by electricity, sharing and gathering information is easier. This is the age where transistor became an answer to communication and media. 
Last but not the least, this is the age that we are living now and it is the Information Age. This where INTERNET is developed. Internet became the key to faster and easier communication. Internet is a computer network containing massive information that will help people’s knowledge. This is the age where social media is being developed, it is used to communicate to different places. The microelectronics are made such as phones, laptops, personal computers, and more. The use of voice, sound, and images are being digitalized. It is the age where information are accessible to everyone. Examples of software used for communication: 
Web Browsers
Social Networks 
Microblogs 
Youtube (2005) 
AR/VR 
Video Chat 
Search Engines
Portable Computers
And this will conclude and end the discussion. :)

Roman Empire Superman? It’s an interesting idea, but I really can’t imagine how it would work. What do you have in mind for it?
I can’t find the brainstorming post(s) it was when Batman Ninja was announced, but the plot would be more like Gotham by Gaslight, in that we have Batman allowed to do historical fantasy AUs but not Superman (because they are more willing to experiment and play with Batman but for Superman we only really get variations on Modern AU and Evil!). And Arthurian Medieval is boring, but Ancient Roman is underused and I want MOAR.
So, Superman can still be Kryptonian but he’s going to be mistaken as demigod- and let’s talk about how the Herculean strength/concept that the pre-Homeric heroes were bigger and better, so it will be understandable and how you have the raised by wolves Romolus and Remus adoption myth and the Aeneas fleeing the destruction of his home to a new one - Superman as a story won’t feel weirdly out of place in the thematic pool of Rome. Disney reworked their Hercales to have a lot of Superman for a reason. And Rome itself is a metropolitan city that had a LOT of seemingly modern things (look, one of my favorite series is the Marco Falco Mysteries and spin-off). Clark is found by small farmers in the agricultural region outside Rome or maybe even up in the Po Valley - but I think for story ease it makes sense to have the Kents as one of the few small non-patrician landowner farms right outside Rome supplying the daily fresh greens and beans, and Clark moves to Metropolis Roma to be an investigator or scribe and maybe even helping to draft notices for the Acta Diurna daily postings. Not an actual Roman historian here but pretty confident there was an close equivalent to Daily Planet reporter. Alexander ‘Lex’ L--- is the wealthiest and most corrupt Roman senator. Bald Caesar jokes abound. Lois Lane either works with Clark or maybe is something like one of the Vestal Virgins (her dad, legion general, can show up too) and wrecks Lex’s political plans constantly. Jimmy Olsen is the plucky Gaullic sidekick. Red cloak and toga resigns for everyone. Wonder Woman crossover sequel.

with valentino's disposition, we would know very very quickly...
The worst part about Valentino's wing robe is that he could be entirely naked in any given scene and we would never know

well there's this promotional material in the tower in which he sort of... hovers?
Tumblr media
It's funny that Vox canonically flies but we don't know if Val does or not. I want to see fanart of them flying together 😭
Though my personal headcanon is that Val can't fly. (He's just so huge and those wings don't look that big. Maybe with demon magic?)
And even though I don't really think moth qualities actually affect him that much in canon, I'm imagining a what-if scenario maybe. Maybe he could before, but not anymore with his antenna damaged? (In the same verse, he can't dance because of that either, at least not like he used to. This isn't even contradicted by canon so far. He mostly stands there while Angel dances around him in Poison and he lets Vox lead and drag him around in the Finale)
Ok now I'm imagining Val taking Vox flying at the beginning of their partnership but now Vox is the one taking him...

Media Evolution and the Changing World: Its Implication to Communication and Education
BLOG ENTRY # 2
Written by: Mariel Angel L. Galagar
What is media
Communication is the foundation of what makes us human, as well as a vital component of our societal structure. It essentially allows us to instill vision while communicating ideas and information to a diverse range of people. And evidently, without media, conversing relevant information which involves news, and our various experiences would indeed be unattainable to share across separate regions and to individuals who reside in distant locations. The media will remain a component of our daily lives through having a huge impact in our nation. 
Media can be classified in divergent ways. In general, media is the plural form of medium, that further refers to any communication method. This includes everything from printed paper to electronic data, along with art, current affairs, educational content, and a wide assortment of many other types of information. Furthermore, according to The Penguin Dictionary of Media Studies, it entails disseminating texts and messages to a large number of individuals while also carrying some intellectual baggage or currency. What's more, in the field of education, the media brings knowledge to a plethora of distinct topics, bringing children and teenagers nearer to a variety of information sources and developing inquisitiveness about what they would like to learn.
In line with this, there are also four different categories of media. First is the Media Modality where it refers to audio, video, graphics, and animation. Next, Media format which talks about being digital or analog. Third, the Ways of Transmitting that specifically means the electromagnetic or the radio waves. And lastly, the Mass Media Form or the TV, radio print Internet, telephone, or mobile. Additionally, because of global connectivity, the relevance of media is increasing daily. As a result, each of us must become cognizant of the media's power since it thus enables us to be skeptical of all the data we get on a regular basis. We, the media users, should further remember that our responsibility is to constructively critique the data we gather so that our perception is not influenced by the interests of others.
Media evolution
Tumblr media
Because the ear is the predominant sense organ during this time, McLuhan refers to the Tribal Age as the first historical era. Because the senses of hearing, touch, taste, and smell were far more fully developed than vision, this period is also known as the acoustic era.  The development of hearing, touching, and scent occurred in the Tribal Age.
According to McLuhan, in an acoustic environment. Hearing visualizes something beyond seeing in the tribal age because it makes you fully aware of your environment. In the period of the tribe, the senses of hearing and smell provide us with a perception of the world we cannot see. The hearing was more significant at this time since it made it possible to be more quickly aware of your surroundings, which was crucial for hunting. Because everyone hears at once, listening to someone in a group becomes a unifying act, strengthening the sense of community. Everything is more immediate, and present, and encourages more passion and spontaneity in this realm of surround sound. By hearing, it was believed during the Tribal Age.
Pre- Industrial Age (Pre -1700)
Tumblr media
Clay tablets (2,400 BC), which were created in ancient Mesopotamia, were in use for more than 3,000 years. Scribes imprinted inscriptions in wet clay using a reed stylus. The tablets were frequently sun-dried and occasionally heated in kilns. In order to preserve them for millennia, documents were frequently kept in libraries.
Papyrus(2500 BC) 
Out of the many uses for Egyptian papyrus was more significant than its use as a writing surface. The majority of these sheets were fashioned and sold as scrolls, while occasionally individual sheets were offered for record keeping and lists. 
Roman Acta Diurna were essentially daily gazettes that contained official notices. They were displayed on message boards in open spaces like the Roman Forum and were carved on stone or metal. They were also known as Acta. During the Roman Republic, Acta originally appeared in its original form around 131 BC.
Tumblr media
People established iron production, created machine tools, harnessed the power of steam, and produced a variety of goods (including books through the printing press) In short, this time period is characterized as the result of utilizing machine power. With the invention of the portable printing press by Johannes Gutenberg, the printing press greatly increased visual dependency.
A typewriter is a mechanical or electronic device used to create characters that resemble the movable type used by printers. Keys on a typewriter push against a ribbon to transfer ink or carbon impressions onto paper. Typically, each key push prints one character.
The term "telephone" was previously used to refer to various innovations before the electric telephone was created, and not all early researchers of the electrical gadget dubbed it a "telephone." John Taylor, a captain, created the telephone in 1844 as a means of communication for sailing ships.
One of the best panoramic cameras of the time was the Cyclographe (right), which could capture 360-degree images. A pointed punch that would strike and therefore mark each new exposure on the roll before it passed in front of a slit at the shutter was part of the flexible telescopic camera.
Electronic Age (1930-1980)
Tumblr media
The electronic era began with the creation of the transistor. Transistors' power was harnessed by humans, which resulted in the transistor radio, electronic circuits, and the first computers. Long-distance communication became increasingly effective in this era.
Among the many advantages for adopting electronic media is the ability to sell oneself as well as other things like businesses, products, and services. The usage of media platforms and networks, as well as social media sites like television and the internet, are just a few of the numerous ways you may take advantage of electronic media to communicate effectively with others. Because franchisees can purchase commercials to be shown to millions of people, television is one of the most popular electronic media devices. This increases revenue for the franchise owner. 
Human emotions can be learned by machines due to the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning. THIS empowers them to do actions like humans would, facilitating production.
Diversity of Society 
The world evolves as people make it happen. Many inventions were made from the past that were modified and were reinvented into more accessible and convenient to use. Today, media is being spread around the world meant to be an outlet of communication to spread information to people. Back then, people had limited resources in the media as a way of communication. They had telegraphs as a communication instrument to transmit information less hassle than hiring someone to send messages or information manually to the person. Today’s generation has the advantage of using media and acquiring information from it as it is available anytime. Moreover, this not only provides information to masses, but it also lets people express themselves through different media modality, format, and form. 
People nowadays use the media to educate people with their knowledge that gives impact to people on the internet. This way, people can also be educated and be the better version of themselves as responsible media users.
 Implication to Communication and Education
Students are more engaged in their education and have a richer experience thanks to media in education. They can further see representations of what they are learning via the usage of media in lesson illustrations, smart TVs and other interactive media. In addition, the media has the ability to inform people concerning both good and awful. Because it has an impact on the mind, ears, and eyes nothing can simultaneously counteract the impact of the media. In a developed society, the media should take a laudable goal of educating people and discouraging contentious, sectarian, and communal trends. Acquiring knowledge is a process called learning which certainly requires effort. Jobs can sometimes lead to learners being irritated and getting disinterested in the class because they are bored. That is within that instance, using media in the teaching-learning process is needed to capture students' interest and make teaching and learning activities more successful. The use of media in the process of teaching and learning is not a new thing because many educators are aware of the value of media.
Overall, bringing students of all ages together to assist them with all types of media, from homework to various research projects, is one of the main benefits of each social networking platform. It is significant to note that the geotagging phenomenon has a fantastic outlook on the future of education because it may be utilized to locate pertinent information about the target and find locations that are being researched. Additionally, social media platforms can help students, as has been demonstrated by researchers in resolving their relationship crises. In fact, the absence of the primary driver of pupils' academic success is now involved. In this instance, social media brings them into direct contact with working along with their teachers to make sure the studying procedure is correctly kept up and conducive for learning.
