It goes without saying that the world of “print” media is being turned upside-down right now. That being said, print media is only one aspect of visual media, which has been important from the days of crude cave drawings up until now, the days of crude MS Paint drawings. Still, visual media always has been, and always will be important, which is presumably why Business Insider created this lovely little infographic detailing the history of visual communication in all its forms. Check out the full infographic below, complete with obligatory references to Gutenberg, the Bible, the Communist Manifesto and everyone’s favorite book by Ayn Rand.
