MOTION PICTURE PHOTOGRAPHY / PROJECTION
In 1832, Images spinning on a disc were viewed through slits in a second disc. This displayed the images sequentially at a fast enough rate to simulate a couple seconds worth of motion. A primitive kind of slide projector called a magic lantern had been invented around 1640. In 1853, these two inventions were combined and used a magic lantern to cast stroboscopic images onto a wall. These were essentially cartoons, since they were animated drawings -

PRINTING PRESS
During the 19th century the productivity of presses increased greatly, partly because of improvements in their construction and partly because of the use of steam to power them. As a result, print becomes more affordable and accessible to the working class.The printing press allows us to share large amounts of information quickly and in huge numbers. In fact, the printing press is so significant that it has come to be known as one of the most important inventions of our time. -
COMMERCIAL MOTION PICTURES

A sound film is a motion picture with synchronized sound, or sound technologically coupled to image, as opposed to a silent film. The first known public exhibition of projected sound films took place in Paris in 1900, but decades passed before sound motion pictures were made commercially practical. Innovations in sound-on-film led to the first commercial screening of short motion pictures using the technology. -

The first transistor radio was unveiled in 1954. As the name suggests it is powered by a transistor - the miniaturised semiconductor invented in 1947 that has underpinned the growth of consumer electronics ever since. One of the key benefits of the transistor was the ability for electronics manufacturers to create smaller and smaller devices, be they cameras, alarm clocks, calculators or the iconic portable radio. -

LCD PROJECTOR
The LCD projector was invented by New York inventor Gene Dolgoff. The idea was to use an element referred to as a “light valve” to regulate the amount of light that passes through it. This would allow the use of a very powerful external light source.He then settled on liquid crystals to modulate the light in 1971. It took him until 1984 to get an addressable liquid crystal display (LCD), which is when he built the world’s first LCD projector. -

The site consisted entirely of brief posts, each one sharing a link and some of his thoughts on the content within. This compilation of links included links to websites he liked, as well as his own work. With the term “blog” not invented yet, these sites were referred to as “Online Diaries” or even “Personal Pages”. In 1997, the term “weblog” was coined by Jorn Barger. -
