Techopedia Explains Media
The history of media is often (somewhat jokingly, but also seriously) seen as a tautology. Recorded history itself requires some form of media on which it can be stored and passed along through time. The innovation of printing press technology culminated in many different shifts in Western culture, from the intellectual realm to the legal space and beyond.
