Here's a bullet point list outlining the history of media:
* Oral Tradition: For millennia, stories, knowledge, and culture were shared through spoken word, songs, and performances.
* The Invention of Writing (c. 3000 BCE): The development of writing systems in Mesopotamia and other regions allowed for the recording and dissemination of information beyond individual memory.
* The Printing Press (15th Century): Johannes Gutenberg's invention revolutionized information sharing, making books and other texts more accessible and leading to wider literacy.
* Mass Media Emerges (19th-20th Centuries): The rise of newspapers, magazines, photography, radio, and cinema created new ways to reach large audiences.
* Television and the Broadcast Era (Mid-20th Century): Television became a dominant medium, shaping culture and delivering visual and auditory information into homes.
* The Digital Revolution and the Internet (Late 20th-21st Centuries): The advent of computers, the internet, and mobile devices has led to a convergence of media, instant global communication, and user-generated content.
0 and 1 are good. Tied to objective physical reality.
The rest are kinda just propaganda media. Gotta limit your exposure to them as much as possible to avoid exploitation/abuse of your beliefs, or only accept content in those forms from trusted parties.
Media is propaganda. The word of mouth were fantastic stories of kings and warriors designed to shape society to the ruler's will.
Yeah, that's true. All of them are abstractions that people use to sync up their imaginations.
It's also important to figure out who you're syncing up with. Predators will make you believe your sovereignty away.
You forgot gossip woth friends
