Pre-industrial Age
People discovered fire, developed paper from plants and forged weapons and tools stone, bronze, copper and iron. -
INDUSTRIAL AGE
People used the power of steam, developed machine tools,established iron production, and the manufacturing of various products (including books through the printing press) -
TYPEWRITER
A typewriter is a machine that prints letters one character at a time on paper that you insert on a roller. A machine used before computers were invented that allowed you to type with your hands and print letters on a page was an example of a typewriter. -
TELEPHONE
A telephone (derived from the Greek: τῆλε, tēle, "far" and φωνή, phōnē, "voice", together meaning "distant voice"), or phone, is a telecommunications device that permits two or more users to conduct a conversation when they are too far apart to be heard directly. A telephone converts sound, typically and most efficiently the human voice, into electronic signals that are transmitted via cables and other communication channels to another telephone which reproduces the sound to the receiving user. -
PRINTING PRESS FOR MASS PRODUCTION
A printing press is a mechanical device for applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon a print medium (such as paper or cloth), thereby transferring the ink. It marked a dramatic improvement on earlier printing methods in which the cloth, paper or other medium was brushed or rubbed repeatedly to achieve the transfer of ink, and accelerated the process. -
ELECTRONIC AGE
The invention of the transistor ushered in the electronic age. People harnessed the power of transistors that led to the transistor radio, electronic circuits, and the early computers. In this age, long distance communication became more efficient. -

PORTABLE LAPTOP
Alternatively referred to as a notebook, a laptop is a portable computer that has most, or all, of the same abilities as a desktop, but is small enough for easy mobility. Portable computers run off AC power or batteries, such as NiMH, NiCad, or Li-ion packs, for several hours. -
NEW AGE
The internet paved the way for faster communication and the creation of the social network. People advanced the use of microelectronics with the invention of personal computers, mobile devices, and wearable technology. Moreover, voice, image, sound and data are digitalized. We are now living in the INFORMATION AGE. -
FRIENDSTER
It was originally a social networking service website. Before Friendster was redesigned, the service allowed users to contact other members, maintain those contacts, and share online content and media with those contacts. The website was also used for dating and discovering new events, bands and hobbies. Users could share videos, photos, messages and comments with other members via profiles and networks. It is considered one of the original social networks. -
SMART PHONES
Smartphones are a class of mobile phones and of multi-purpose mobile computing devices. Smartphones typically include various sensors that can be leveraged by their software, such as a magnetometer, proximity sensors, barometer, gyroscope and accelerometer, and support wireless communications protocols such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and satellite navigation.
