    History of Cinema


    From the Lumiere brothers to the Cohn brothers, and from Hollywood to Bollywood, from the Oscars to the Cannes Film Festival, the story of cinema is at the heart of the media revolution.
    It was more than just a new technology. The first glimpse of a movie astonished people in the early 1890s in the US and Europe, when short clips in Nickelodeon parlors were all the rage. Within a decade, the "movie" industry quickly became the most popular art form of the 20th century

    The History of the Motion Picture

    From the Lumiere brothers to the Cohn brothers, and from Hollywood to Bollywood, from the Oscars to the Cannes Film Festival, the story of cinema is at the heart of the media revolution.

    It was more than just a new technology. The first glimpse of a movie astonished people in the early 1890s in the US and Europe, when short clips in Nickelodeon parlors were all the rage. Within a decade, the "movie" industry quickly became the most popular art form of the 20th century -- and the most controversial.

    Until the 1890s, theater had always been confined to actors on a stage. Parlor toys like flip books the Zoetrope (US), and the Daedalum (England) were the closet anyone could come to having recorded images that could be played over and over. There was some new media flexibility after Daguerre announced the process for photography in 1839, since lectures and dramatic readings could be illustrated by glass photos projected on a theater screen. But glass was far too bulky and fragile to serve in place of film.

    History of the Light Bulb

    The electric light, one of the everyday conveniences that most affects our lives, was not “invented” in the traditional sense in 1879 by Thomas Alva Edison, although he could be said to have created the first commercially practical incandescent light. He was neither the first nor the only person trying to invent an incandescent light bulb. In fact, some historians claim there were over 20 inventors of incandescent lamps prior to Edison’s version. However, Edison is often credited with the invention because his version was able to outstrip the earlier versions because of a combination of three factors: an effective incandescent material, a higher vacuum than others were able to achieve and a high resistance that made power distribution from a centralized source economically viable.

    The History of the Needle

    The needle is perhaps the oldest "tool" known to mankind. Just how the first garment was joined together is open to conjecture, however. During the Paleolithic Age (26,000 to 20,000 BC) the needle took form and in all probability was nothing more than a bone splinter sharpened at one end, undoubtedly with a flint, and interestingly in a triangular shape.

    A History of Chairs, Posture, and Society

    It seems that since humankind first stood up to see over the tall Savannah grasses, we’ve been looking for a place to sit back down. The historical record is not quite so succinct, however—but when early migratory peoples first settled down into a domesticated lifestyle, it appears one mark of the civilized person was a seat that elevated the body “away from the cold, damp floor” (de Dampierre 2006). By the simple act of constructing an artificial place to sit, humans began the long tradition of distinguishing themselves from the animal world. It is a form as simple as the bending of our knees and upright posture as our back, and yet that form is not so simple.

    WRITING INSTRUMENTS over 6000 YEARS

    Around 4000 BC

    Around 3000 BC

    History of Paper


    What Is Paper?
    True paper is characterized as thin sheets made from fiber that has been macerated until each individual filament is a separate unit. Medieval paper was made of diluted cotton, linen fiber. (Hunter 1943, 117) The fibers are then intermixed with water and by the use of a sieve-like screen, the fibers are lifted from the water leaving a sheet of matted fiber on the screen. The thin layer of intertwined fiber is paper.
    (Hunter 1943, 5)

    History of comb

    Combs have been used by people since ages and probably date back to the Stone Age, when man, for the first time, created a solid tool with teeth, to tame his hair. It is interesting to know that the initial uses of comb were not restricted to hair care and straightening. They were also used as decorative accessories. Combs are among the oldest tools to have been discovered by archaeologists. They can be made with a variety of materials, including wood and plastic. In the present times, a variety of combs is being made to meet different purposes, such as simple combs, hot combs and lice combs. In case you are wondering when and how combs came into existence, read on to know their detailed history.

    History of mirror

    Mirror


    A mirror, reflecting a vase
    A mirror is an object that reflects light or sound in a way that preserves much of its original quality prior to its contact with the mirror. Some mirrors also filter out some wavelengths, while preserving other wavelengths in the reflection. This is different from other light-reflecting objects that do not preserve much of the original wave signal other than color and diffuse reflected light. The most familiar type of mirror is the plane mirror, which has a flat surface. Curved mirrors are also used, to produce magnified or diminished images or focus light or simply distort the reflected image.

    History of watch

    Time is considered one of our most valuable assets.

    The keeping of time goes all the way back to the beginning of civilization. Both historians and archeologists believe that stationary and portable sun-dials were probably developed in Egypt or Mesopotamia.

    The oldest extant sun-dial can be found in Egypt and dates back to 1500 BCE. We know that the early Egyptians used the pyramids as well as the obelisks as a forerunner to the sundial.
