Hi All ! I am currently tring to create a timeline, from 1945 to current days which aims to identify the occurrence of ICT's in Information Management (IM) and Journalism day-to-day practices. The idea is to have an overlook of either devices/hardwares or tools/softwares which could have provoked major changes on professional pratices. I already tried to do it by myself but the problem is that I was born in 1982. You will easily understand that I don't remember how those trade could be without Internet, Cellular phones or Google. The major difficulty I encounter is to close the gap between the offcial date of creation of technologies and their actual adoption and généralisation, which seems to be more accurate in order to analyze my timeline. For exemple: Even if the creation "Internet" may be "placed" in the late sixties on the timeline, the effective generalization of its use by IM and Journlism profesionals would be better placed in the middle of the nineties. This situation is almost the same for all ICT's. Therefore, my question is: What are, according to you, the ICT's which have had an influence on professionals pratices and where would you place them on a timeline ? I would be very pleased to get input from experienced scholars or profesionals as this list's readers, in order to help me to focus properly on that topic. I Hope to read from you soon. Thanks in advance.
