I definitely don't think that it was stage one...I think that it was a very important stage, but stage one was something that probably happened hundreds or even thousands of years ago. Technology isn't just electronics, it's "the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry." So the Cotton Gin, the Printing Press, the and even the most basic Pulley System used by the ancient Egyptians are all forms of technology. With that being said, I think there are SEVERAL milestones that can be mentioned, in no particular order...

- Use of Penicillin

- The Apollo 11

- The Internet

- Cell Phones

- Indoor Plumbing

The list can go on, but I think that all of those changed human life forever more...There is no going back to life before any of these milestones...

In terms of mass communication, I would say the printing press was stage one. The Gutenburg Press was responsible for the circulation of both information and ideas and the democratization of knowledge. Without it we'd still be living in the Dark Ages.
