Magazine 1663 First publication of Erbauliche Monaths. Unterredungen (Uplifting Conversations Monthly) in Germany started by Johann Rist, a theologian and poet of Hamburg. It believed to be the world's first magazine. SOCIAL IMPACT: THIS IS A MONTHLY MAGAZINE, WHICH MEANS THAT GERMANS CAN UNDERSTAND THE MAIN EVENTS HAPPENING IN THE SOCIETY AND IT MOTIVATE PEOPLE TO INVOLVE IN THE SOCIETY Related Invention: Writing

Newspaper 1704 Weekly Boston News-Letter becomes the first newspaper to survive in America. John Campbell, a bookseller and postmaster of Boston, was its first editor, printing the newspaper on what was then referred to as a half-sheet. It originally appeared on a single page, printed on both sides and issued weekly. ECONOMIC IMPACT: Related Invention: Writing THIS IS A MONTHLY MAGAZINE, WHICH MEANS THAT GERMANS CAN UNDERSTAND THE MAIN EVENTS HAPPENING IN THE SOCIETY AND IT MOTIVATE PEOPLE TO INVOLVE IN THE SOCIETY

Printing 1710 German-born painter and engraver who was the first to make use of several metal plates (each for an individual colour) for making prints with continuous gradations of colour. His colour theory formed the foundation for modern colour printing CULTURAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT: IT IS A GREAT IMPACT ON CULTURE AND BECAUSE COLOUR CAN BE A SYMBOL OF MANY THINGS. THEREFORE, COLOUR PRINTING IS A GREAT STEP IN EXPRESSING EMOTION OR FEELINGS. ALL THE COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES ARE IN COLOUR AND THIS IS ALSO THE FIRST STARTING POINT OF COLOUR IMAGE. Related Invention: Printing

Lithography 1798 Lithography is invented by Alois Senefelder. Lithography is a method for printing using a stone (Lithographic Limestone) or a metal plate with a completely smooth surface. Lithography uses oil or fat and gum arabic to divide the smooth surface into hydrophobic regions which accept the ink, and hydrophilic regions which reject it and thus become the background. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Related Invention: Printing LITHOGRAPHY IS USING A METAL PLATE UNLIKE THE OLDER PRINTING THAT USED WOOD BLOCK TO PRINT. METAL PLATE PRINTING CAN BE MORE PRECISE AND METAL PLATE IS ALSO MORE DURABLE THAN WOOD BLOCK PRINTING.

FLAT-BED CYLINDER PRINTING 1819 Flat-bed cylinder printing press employing a flat surface for the type or plates against which paper is pressed, either by another flat surface acting reciprocally against it or by a cylinder rolling over it. It may be contrasted to the rotary press, which has a cylindrical printing surface. The first cylinder flatbed press was built by Friedrich Koenig of Germany and used by The Times of London in 1814. Related Invention: Printing

PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE 1827 In 1827 French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce was the first to obtain a true fixed photographic image. This first exposure took eight hours! Photography was born, but it was a long way from everyday use. He took the first photograph by coating a pewter plate with bitumen and exposing the plate to light in 1814. The bitumen hardened where light struck. The unhardened areas were then dissolved away. Related Invention: Camera

GALVANOMETER 1829 Leopoldi Nobili invents the galvanometer. Galvanometer is the historical name given to a moving coil electric current detector. When a current is passed through a coil in a magnetic field, the coil experiences a torque proportional to the current. If the coil's movement is opposed by a coil spring, then the amount of deflection of a needle attached to the coil may be proportional to the current passing through the coil. Related Invention: Sound Recording

PHENAKISTISCOPE 1832 Joseph-Antoine Plateau invents the Phenakistiscope, using a slotted disc to create an appearance of continuous motion when spun in front of a series of still images. The phenakistoscope consisted of two discs mounted on the same axis. The first disc had slots around the edge, and the second contained drawings of successive action, drawn around the disc in concentric circles. Related Invention: Video Games

PICTURE TELEGRAPHY SYSTEM 1850 Picture telegraphy system is demonstrated by Frederick C Bakewell in which images are transmitted by making and breaking an electrical current such that the image is recorded by a metallic point depositing shellac ink to discolour chemically-coated paper wrapped around a metal cylinder, tracking spirally. Related Invention: Television

SUBMARINE CABLE 1851 First successful submarine cable is laid between Dover and Calais by Thomas Crampton’s Submarine Cable Company, creating a continuous telegraph link between London and Paris.

SOUND RECORDING 1857 The first device that could record sound mechanically (but could not play it back) was the phonautograph, developed in 1857 by Parisian inventor Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville. The earliest known recordings of the human voice were phonautograms also made in 1857 Related Invention: Sound Recording

COLOUR PHOTOGRAPH 1861 The first colour photograph was made by Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, with the help of English inventor and photographer Thomas Sutton, in 1861. He had the photographer Thomas Sutton photograph a tartan ribbon three times, each time with a different color filter over the lens. The three images were developed and then projected onto a screen with three different projectors, each equipped with the same color filter used to take its image. When brought into focus, the three images formed a full color image. Related Invention: Camera

This was the first successful transatlantic radiotelegraph message in 1902. Related Invention: Radio

X-RAY 1895 X-rays are discovered by Wilhelm Röntgen. He wrote an initial report "On a new kind of ray: A preliminary communication" and on December 28, 1895 submitted it to the Würzburg's Physical-Medical Society journal. This was the first paper written on X-rays. Röntgen referred to the radiation as "X", to indicate that it was an unknown type of radiation. Related Invention: Camera
