Development of Media System
Introduction
The term media is used in this study to refer to a combination of content such as films, music, TV, radio, adverts, publications as well as electronic games. These constituents are described alongside other technological devices and have experienced expansion over the years. The nature of expansion and development experience in the media regarding content, platforms, and devices have received mixed reactions from all quotas (Gardner and Lehnert 293). However, the global platform can testify to the fact that these developments have opened opportunities as well as new business models (Gardner and Lehnert 293).
History of the media records that the first book ever printed in the world dates back to 686 in China. This was followed by the printing at the Gutenberg press that utilized the technology of movable tape in 1453 (RobbGrieco 3-20). Subsequently, the first newspaper ever printed in the English language was done around 1620. The period within the 19th century saw different advancements that include the invention of the telegraph and loudspeaker that added to the taste of the media. All these inventions can be said to have converged in the 20th century to register an elaborate transformation within the media fully. Importantly, the first private commercial radio station was launched at KDKA Pittsburg in 1920, this was followed by the launch of British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in the year 1925. By the year 1935 the majority of the United States citizens owned a radio with the BBC introducing Television broadcasts followed by the introduction of cable TVs in 1948. This has led to subsequent developments that saw the invention of different devices such as, microprocessors, audio cassettes, mobile media devices, desktop computers, Cable News Network (CNN), laptop computers, the World Wide Web, DVDs, user-created contents, podcasts amongst other many inventions. Such developments have greatly transformed the media industry leading to new industries as well as social activities that directly correlate to media development (Bagdikian 44).
The outlined development extended the scope of the media through the introduction of different format of media. In the 20th century, there was the elaborate development of mass media that gave a solid foundation for the expansion of media globally. The use of mass media provides a content production and distribution that is one-way (Gardner and Lehnert 296). However, the developments of the 21st century have ensured that the media transforms through the digitalization of content including distribution through digital devices and platforms. These transformations as experienced in the 21st century provide a two-way content distribution as well as production using new devices. The introduction of the internet and smartphones are some of the recent additions to the new media transformation (Cruz-Jesus et al. 1-10).
Interestingly, the new media has not displaced the old since they operate side-by-side. In this case, there is a still publication of both the hardcopy and e-books accessed over the internet. This also involves the receiving and accessibility of news that can be done through radios, TVs, laptops a...
