People discovered fire, developed paper from plants, and forged weapons
and tools with stone, bronze, copper, and iron.

Examples:

❖ Papyrus in Egypt (25000 BC)


❖ Clay tablets in Mesopotamia (2400 BC)
❖ Cave paintings (35,000 BC)
❖ Acta Diurna in Rome (130 BC)
❖ Dibao in China (2nd Century)
❖ Codex in the Mayan region (5th Century)
❖ Printing press using wood blocks (220 AD)

(refer to the following example using the image below)

1. Papyrus

2. Clay Tables in Mesopotamia


3. Cave Painting
4. Acta Diurna of Rome
5. Dibao in China

6. Codex in the Mayan Region


7. Press Printing Using Woodblocks

II. INDUSTRIAL AGE (1760S-1930S)

People used the power of steam, developed machine tools, established iron
production, and manufactured various products (including books through
the printing press)

Examples:
