From Mass to Media - A Brief, Unreliable History

In the beginning, there was only mass. Then, somehow, media happened.

This is the story of how it all went down.

The Ancient Story of Communication

Then They Invented the Printing Press

Prophets and Papyrus

The Prophets and Papyrus Were Replaced by Actually Replaced by the Printing Press

And so on.

The Printing Press Was Replaced by the Internet, But Didn't Quite Work Out

The Internet Was Replaced by the Social Media, But That Didn't Quite Work Out Either

And Now We Are Here

And that's the story.

Or, at the very least, a brief, unreliable history.
