Media Timeline (Kurtney, John Benedict, Ysabelle)

  • Television

    Television
    • The most common form of media present in almost every household in the Philippines. It is where we get all the news and entertainment we consume on a daily basis.
    • We think that the television is what makes us updated to all the current happenings present in the world, as well as getting entertained from all the entertaining shows we watch.
  • Keypad Phone

    Keypad Phone
    • One of the most earliest forms of mobile communication, in which text is typed in keypads, thus the name "keypad phone".
    • We think that the keypad phone is what brought the touchscreen mobile phone to fruition, since without it, mobile communication and devices shouldn't have existed in the first place
  • Textbook

    Textbook
    • Textbooks are a written source of information, designed specifically for the use of students, on a particular subject or field of study that is usually developed based on a syllabus and geared towards meeting specific quality and learning requirements.
    • Though it is not as entertaining and innovative as other forms of media, textbooks still provide us with information that we need in order to learn something
  • PC

    PC
    • It is a microcomputer designed for use by one person at a time. It is a multi-purpose microcomputer whose size, capabilities and price makes up for its individual use.
    • We think that the PC has helped us do all the digital tasks at hand, with ease. As long as one knows how to navigate the web with a PC, he/she can do all the tasks given to them easily.
  • Tablet

    Tablet
    • It is a variant of a mobile device notable for its flat, rectangular form. Also known as a tablet computer, it is usually controlled by means of a touch screen, and that is typically used for accessing the Internet, watching videos, playing games, reading electronic books, and the like.
    • We think that the tablet is what we first used before using phones. Because of its size, we thought that this device is suitable for playing video games and watching movies in full screen.
  • Smartphone

    Smartphone
    • It is an electronic display screen that is also an input device. It is interacted with by using hand gestures and fingertip movements to tap pictures, moving elements or type words on the screen.
    • We personally think that the smartphone is one of the most reliable devices that we use in our everyday lives. From setting alarms, to getting updated with the current situations, to then helping us in our studies, it is to be seen that the smartphone is one of the most innovative devices made.
  • Printer

    Printer
    • It is a device capable of accepting text and graphic output from a computer or similar device, and transferring the information to paper, usually to standard size, 8.5'' by 11'' sheets of paper. They all vary in size, speed, sophistication, and cost.
    • We think that the printer is one of the most essential needs of most students, especially in this age where everyone has to submit documents when admitting into colleges they want to go to.
  • Laptop

    Laptop
    • Also called "Notebook Computers", it is a battery or AC-powered personal computer smaller than a briefcase. A laptop can be easily transported and used in temporary spaces such as on airplanes, in libraries, temporary offices and at meetings.
    • Personally thinking, the laptop may be one of the most versatile devices that has almost all functions of the common personal computer, with its portability being a plus. It allows one to do computer tasks wherever they go.
  • Encyclopedia

    Encyclopedia
    • it refers to a reference work or compendium providing summaries of knowledge either general or special to a particular field or discipline. They are divided into articles or entries that are arranged alphabetically by article name or by thematic categories, or else are hyperlinked and searchable.
    • We think that encyclopedias are a great help to students who cannot afford devices and internet to search for important details. Since it can be accessible through libraries, it can used for free.
  • Science 3D Exhibit

    Science 3D Exhibit
    • It refers to the science-related exhibits that employ 3D technology in viewing scientific stuff. 3D glasses with a red-blue color scheme are usually worn in this type of media in order to immerse the viewers into the video presented. -In our personal opinion, this is one of the media technologies that allow immersion of viewers into the media presented. It allows them to be part of the video itself, as to make them feel like they belong to the video
  • Karaoke

    Karaoke
    • A karaoke is a device which measures one's singing ability and capability. It rates the scores of the singers, which'll base on the performance one did. It comes with a mic and a songbook, which contains all the songs up-to-date, mostly english and other languages.
    • Though it is only used for entertainment, we still believe that the karaoke is a great way to destress and relieve tiredness from one's body.
