JYOTI SINGH에 의해To understand the journey of Media and Information Literacy, we must first look back at the Prehistoric Age.
The prehistoric age was a time when no formal writing system existed. This period began around one million years ago, when early humans, known as hominids, used simple tools for hunting and gathering. During this time, human behavior and brain development evolved, forming the foundation of communication.
Early humans, especially Homo sapiens, were capable of conceptual thinking. They could think abstractly, communicate ideas, reflect on experiences, and solve problems. These abilities became the basis for the development of media and information.
Prehistoric people expressed their stories and experiences through cave paintings. These drawings, created on cave walls and ceilings, were not just art — they were one of the earliest and most powerful forms of communication.
Stone tablets and rock carvings were also used to record information. Natural stones were shaped and engraved with symbols and messages, serving as early examples of documentation.
Over time, more structured writing systems developed, such as Egyptian hieroglyphs. These systems combined logographic, syllabic, and alphabetic elements, allowing more organized communication.
Body art, including tattooing, was another form of expression. People marked their bodies with designs that represented identity, culture, and historical events.
Eventually, traditional paper was invented in ancient China. Paper made writing and information sharing much easier and marked a major step toward modern media.
The prehistoric age teaches us that humans have always had a deep desire to communicate. Whether through cave walls, stone carvings, or paper, people continuously searched for ways to preserve their stories.
And that is how the journey of media and information literacy began.
