The Revolutionary of Communication Media Human’s communication activities originated in the need of social production and social life. There have been the communication activities since the human society began. Man’s earliest communication was in gestures and languages. That was a kind of direct transmission. With the enlargement of the scope of human activities, the simple way of direct transmission can no longer meet the needs of human’s life. Then indirect transmission which need the aid of other medium appeared. With the constant improvement of the socialization of human, mode of communication has experienced several important stages of development from then on, and there has been a fundamental revolutionary on media. This revolutionary is basically the process of socialization as the main line. Each appeared a kind of new media, the information communication process can have a qualitative leap, delivering content will also enrich and develop. As shown in Table 1, oral communications are the most primitive form of communication. Since humans have language, oral communication becomes the most important form of communication in human life. As human activity scope expanding gradually and socialization gradually improve, however, simple oral communication is no longer adapt to the spread of human communication needs. So the writing was invented. From the initial knotting chronicle, to the invention of the oracle, and then to the bamboo slips, inscribed wooden slip, cotton silk, the use of the invention of paper-making technique, etc., human recorded the history of social development process in the form of text. They broke the limit of time and space for the first time in the human history, and provided valuable first-hand information for the information dissemination of the productivity development and the future of literature research. However, the scope of its influence is still very limited by handwriting only. The invention of printing made the spread of human civilization achievements to increase speed and breadth, fruits of human civilization can be spread far longer. A huge revolution happened in educational history.
The second industrial revolution caused a wave of science at the end of the 19th century. With the invention of the camera and the phonograph, the slide show and movies become the new media. Radio and television is also emerge almost the same time. The communication of the human experienced a historic change again. Human is no longer limited to simply text reading now. There are unprecedented physical pictures, sounds and images in the communicating history of people. The communication of people become more rich and colorful up from then on. The modern computer technology, communication technology, multimedia technology and network technology is to compose the new chapter in human communication. Now the amount of information carried by the new media is far from traditional media. The information should be much more diverse and multidimensional than ever before. People can even spread the tactile information by using virtual technology. As the Internet gradually into the life of people, time and distance no longer become the obstacle of communication. The human society really run into the era of “global village”
