Media

Media - Definition of media: more than one medium. Before means postal services existed, before means of writing information down existed, man could only use one form of medium of communication i.e. vague drawings. Today, man has created more than one form of medium to get his ideas from one place to another, which ranges from computer disks to conventional paper books. Tomorrow, communications media will not only include the television and computer, but will also include the use of holograms and illusions. Media includes medium like radio which was invented by Guglielmo Marconi which allowed for information to flow to more people quickly. Television, soon after, was introduced by American inventor Philo T. Farnsworth and Russian-born engineer Vladimirk Zworykin in 1927. Then, the ultimate media invention was initiated: the computer, which affects the lives of millions of people around the globe.
