Hearing Aid
hearing aid I chose this event because without the carbon microphone hearing aid, you wouldnt really have equal opportunity back then. Before this invention there was the horn, which didn't help much. So this invention was a big leap. I feel like this has expanded communication in all areas for people with disabilities. -
First Airplane
The first airplane flew this day. Creating a more effective way to travel. A huge leap for the organizational communication area. I think this is important because today we are so involved with other countries, whether it be business, pleasure, or learning. One way to expand the role of communication. http://www.firstflightcentennial.org/history-of-the-first-airplane/ -
Model T
Model-T
Model T was the first car invented. I view this as a way of communication because it sped up traveling to places. Whether it be for pleasure or work, communication took another step ahead. -
The first transcontinental telephone call
This was the first telephone call across the USA. It allowed people to make calls all over the nation instead of telegraphs. I think this is anlther big leap for organizational communication because it made a faster way to communicate! http://history1900s.about.com/od/1910s/fl/First-Transcontinental-Telephone-Call.htm -
Women's Right to Vote
Women finally won the right to vote. Not only did this create equality in the U.S. but also in the organizational communication world. What kind of world would we have if we did not have equality to vote? I view this as a great thing because all of the people are included to help run the country; Another way to communicate to balance an organization. http://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/document.html?doc=13&title.raw=19th+Amendment+to+the+U.S.+Constitution:+Women's+Right+to+Vote -
First TV transmission
The first television picture transmission helped the organizational communication area quite a bit. Even though it was bad quality, John L. Baird was the first to invent the transmission of television. This helped bring TV to the world. Which has impacted the organizational world greatlt because it is a source to recieve and send out communication! http://www.famousscientists.org/john-logie-baird/ -
The Great Depression
This era was the most important in the history of the U.S.A. After the stock market crashing, the U.S. went into the Great Depression. Times were rough and businesses fell. In my opinion, I view this as one of the most important bases of organizational communication because if the U.S. did not go theough this, communication between businesses and government would not be as strong as it is now. http://www.history.com/topics/great-depression -
Social Realism Art
Social Realism art became when the Great Depression started. People drifted from abstract art and was beginning to express the current situation and emotions.The artists was showing the world true feelings of certain situations. I think this also is important because art was oneof the things to help people stay sane during the depression was art. They were communicating with the outside world. An organization was reaching out to its people. http://www.theartstory.org/movement-social-realism.htm -
FDR
Thanks to President Roosevelt, he turned America around during the period of the Great Depression. He implented so many new deals for banks and businesses. I think this has streghthen organizational communication because everything was failing, after the new deals were implemented it started back to normal. http://www.history.com/topics/great-depression video: http://www.history.com/topics/us-presidents/franklin-d-roosevelt/videos/fdr-a-voice-of-hope -
World War II
By the end of the Great Depression, businesses was put into high gear again due to the needs of the war.
I think this is important to the role organizational communication because the war needed a lot of materials from their home businesses while fighting. Without the help of their people and businesses they would not have gotten through the war. http://www.history.com/topics/great-depression
