Evolution to the Information Society

To evaluate the human evolution one crucial point in the analysis is the comunication as a tool for produce the thinking that differentiate us from the other animals, this "thing" that make us unique.

In this article I want to surf with you in a brief note about the humanity comunication media evolution.

The Speaking
The first landmark in the human history was the ability to speak,
to transmit ideas and knowledge through the speech. This was the base from wich the following advances were build.
The Writing

The discovery of the writing as a form to register the knowledge for accessing them in a quickly and safety way was the second step. In addition to this, the knowledge durability and consistency were much greater than the oral transmission.

The Press

The discovery of the press was another qualitative jump. The knowledge now
would be available in a more fast form and would arrive at more
people. When automating the production of great amounts of a same
content the people could dedicate more time to create new knowledge.
