History Of Record

What is ‘Record’? A record is something you could store information or data

on. An album is also a source of recording because you are storing music in it.

Record has changed through time it has gone through so many different stages and as the years go on it becomes

more developed.

The purpose of a record is so you could store data on it. It is formatted in a way so the data that is stored on the

record is accessible.

The earliest forms of recordings are cave paintings and Runic Alphabets. In the past

cavemen use to carve drawings into walls to make a note of events that had taken place. The more recent forms of recording after the

cave paintings were the ‘hydropowered organs’ which played cylinders automatically.

Runic alphabets were used to write runes and a way of communicating through

Germanic languages.

Thomas Edison perfected the phonograph which was a cylinder material like tin foil

etched onto grooves. This then developed into the gramophone.

Record has developed and continues to develop. There are new ways to store

information and to record information.

Different Types of Record...

Platform Type How This Might Be Used

Print (Written) Books This is used for reading or recording an issue that took place. This could also be a source of entertainment.

Audio /Video (Sound) Cassettes, Recorders To record sound, music or documentaries.

Audio (Sound) Podcast This is like a radio and records voice or sound you can replay.

Film (Visual) Video Recorder Something you could watch e.g. documentaries

Audio (Sound) CD, iPods To record music by artists or voice.

Print (Written) Magazines, Newspapers Something that you could read and has been documented

Film (Visual) DVDs, Videos To record something that can be viewed.

Online (Visual, Sound) Blogging To keep a record of writing or stories. Could be like a dairy.

Online (Visual, Sound) Email, Network Groups You could store stuff on your email or send emails to people all around the world and still keep the data.

Film (Visual) Camera Something you could record yourself and then watch over

Audio (Sound) Microphone To record voice or sound to play back and keep as evidence

PrintIn the past people used caving drawings into

walls and caves as a way of recording information and stories. Print has largely

developed over time. It has gone from pictures on the walls to written print in

magazines and books.

Writing was just a form of storing historical events but it has now become a sort of

entertainment. People write books or for news papers so other people could read it. It has become a way of spreading information.

AudioThe first few devices used for

recordings could not even record the sound of voice. Thomas Edison and

other famous people have worked in the past to find ways where music and

voice or any type of sounds. The phonautograph was the first type

of audio that was able to record sound.Now it is very simple to record sound.

There are different equipment that can be used to record such as microphones

and CD players. Other types of audios are cassette recorders, hard disc

recorders, tape recorders and many more.

FilmThere have been many developments when it comes to recording films.

There have been many different stages in improving film for example the

kinematoscope which was a rotating paddle machine which you could view

pictures through.

Film has developed a lot from just viewing pictures it has gone to 3D

films. This is all due to the change in technology and the different types of

equipment to make this possible. Today they use cameras to record

sound and to record people for films. Technology also allows us to edit our films and record over something that

has been recorded. http://www.filmsite.org/pre20sintro.html

Web-BasedThe internet is used for many different

things for example research, homework, surfing the net, writing and many more

productive things. Before computers were invented people used type writes to

write letters or stories and before type writers were invented people wrote

letters with their own hands. Technology has developed. There are many more

advanced technologies than the computer for example the MACs and the iPAD’s.

The internet has also developed. The internet is very wide and it has a lot of

information on it. It can be used to store information and to receive information.

Future Of Record Over the past few centuries record has developed. It

has developed into what we now call the internet, computers, audio, print, blogger and many other forms

of record.

Record will keep on changing over time and we will see many more developments. We have all ready been

introduced to 3D films and iPAD's and computer games. In the future we expect to see more

spectacular achievements like 4D films and even 4D films. We could see rather than computers portable

screens that come out in thin air. Technology and records are a forever developing business which is

always growing.
