Electronic media refers to any type of device or medium that utilizes electronics or electromechanical energy for the end-user to access its content. Its history dates back to the late 18th century, beginning with the advent of wire and transmission lines, followed by innovations like the telegraph, fax machine, and telephone in the 19th century. The 20th century saw revolutionary developments like fiber optics, radio transmission, LED and LCD displays, and wireless communication. Signal processing and information storage evolved with the invention of capacitors, Morse code, electronic modulation, and digital encoding methods. Electronic media formats diversified with the introduction of vinyl records, digital audio files, and various video formats. The field also witnessed significant advancements in audio and video recording technologies. Interactivité[1] was enhanced with the development of control panels, input devices, and game controllers. Today, electronic media plays a vital role in communication, entertainment, data transmission, and information storage.

Définitions des termes
1. Interactivité ( Interactivity ) Interactivity is a term used to describe the symbiosis between humans and technology, or humans and other humans, through exchange of information. This concept is fundamental in various fields such as human communication, computing science, web design, and artifact communication. It includes human interactions like exchanging messages and understanding body language. In the technology realm, interactivity implies how systems like computers respond to human actions and tasks. For example, a website might have features like hyperlinks and multimedia displays to facilitate user interaction. In artifact communication, interactivity is the relationship between the user and the functionality of the artifact. Therefore, interactivity is a central component in creating a dynamic exchange of information in both human and technological interactions.
