Etymology
The term 'filmstrip' originates from the early 20th century, reflecting the evolution of visual media during that time. As technology progressed, the need for effective educational tools increased. Filmstrips became a popular medium in schools, allowing educators to convey information visually. The concept of using a continuous strip of film dates back to the early cinema, but the filmstrip format was specifically developed for instructional purposes. Initially, filmstrips were quite rudimentary, with black-and-white images. However, as color film became more accessible, filmstrips evolved, enhancing the learning experience. The use of filmstrips declined with the advent of digital media in the late 20th century, yet their historical significance remains in educational media development.
