Electronic media

[4] Since all these significant breakthroughs relied on transmission lines for communication, a minor improvement was made by the English engineer Oliver Heaviside who patented the coaxial cable in 1880.

On the other hand, wireless communication made a major improvement in the transmission mode, doing away with wires and introducing electromagnetic waves.

In 1989, Tim Berners Lee created the World Wide Web, making it much easier to share information through hyperlinks.

The history of display and output technology is long and fascinating, beginning in the early 19th century with the development of the galvanometer, which was used to detect and measure small electrical currents.

[10] The radio and television tuner was also developed in the early 20th century, allowing people to receive and tune in to broadcast signals.

[10] The head-mounted display (HMD) was introduced in 1968 and continues to be developed and improved to this day, allowing for immersive virtual reality experiences and other applications.

In the 1830s, analog encoding methods, such as Morse code, were developed, allowing for transmitting information over long distances using electrical signals.

Online routing, or the ability to direct electronic signals to specific destinations, was first developed in 1969 with the creation of the ARPANET, a precursor to the modern internet.

The history of electronic information storage dates back to the 18th century, with the invention of punched cards and paper tape in 1725 and 1846, respectively.

[15] In 1941, the invention of random-access memory (RAM) allowed for storing and retrieving digital data at high speeds and is still in use today.

[16] In 1969, the invention of laser discs allowed for the storage and playback of high-quality video and audio data, but the format was short-lived, with its commercial life ending in 1978.

Compact discs (CDs) were invented in 1982 and quickly became a popular medium for storing and playing back digital audio data.

Interactivity refers to the ability of electronic media to respond to user input, allowing for a more immersive and engaging experience.
