Acta Diurna were daily Roman official notices, a sort of daily gazette. They were carved on stone or metal and presented in message boards in public places like the Forum of Rome.

A system that converts acoustic vibrations to electrical signals in order to transmit sound, typically voices, over a distance using wire or radio.

Insight: The first communication device in this age. It was first created by Alexander Graham Bell. And it’s pretty amazing that he came up with this.

An electric, electronic, or manual machine with keys for producing printlike characters one at a time on paper inserted around a roller.

Insight: Like the printer but the traditional style. Old yet classy. Without this, there will be no printer of today.

The age were electronics were common and used. People harnessed the power of transistors.

Mainframe computers (colloquially referred to as “big iron”) are computers used primarily by large organizations for critical applications, bulk data processing, such as census, industry and consumer statistics, enterprise resource planning, and transaction processing.
