 * History of Technology- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_technology
 * I chose this article based on this course and our current state of events. Technology today is helping humanity not just survive during this crisis but in some cases thrive using online as a medium.From health care, education, to business and entertainment, technology today vs 100 years ago is very much responsible for our prosperity today.

Lead
The article has an introductory sentence as well as paragraph that describes the topic clearly. it doesn't have information that doesn't pertain to the article. it does seem a little drawn out of overly detailed.

Content
There is a vast table of contents showing how technology has affected everything in society from military to education to biology.

Tone and Balance
The article is fact based and unbiased. It aims to show past history and changes or advancements in technology. Historical data is used and facts are presented based on evidence. Some of the info is not very relavent to the topic and seems FYI.

Sources and References
The links and citations all work and point to info backing up the topic.

Organization
It is very well organized. It contains a table of contents with hyperlinks to each section and subsection as well as tons of citation links.

Images and Media
Images seem old and dated. The copyright info isn't there because most the images are free of copyright due to them being old enough to be in the public domain.

Checking the talk page
The talk page has alot of informed evaluations but also has quote a bit of ignorant comments or random arguments. Not a fan of this talk page. if i was the editor I might look to remove some comments.

Overall impressions
I think the overall status of the article descent. it is very well organized with table of contents and links. It's informative and insightful. The media on the pages seems outdated and less relevant and the talk page seems more like a twitter feed.
