Evolution of Functional Types of Media Objects

Abstract

The article deals with the evolution of functional types of media objects at different stages. It is determined that media objects developed from prototypes to modern media centers. The intermediate stage of evolution is established, that is media objects of hybrid (transitional) type. The emergence of new types of information media and their integration into the structure of media objects have a significant impact on the evolution of the architecture of media objects. The current stage is characterized by the emergence and development of new types of media centers. Functional types of media centers (media libraries, centers of culture and art, media libraries at universities, etc.) are determined herein.
