My first impressions of the article were good seeing how the article laid out the whole time line focusing on important milestones.

As the article is now, it's a strong article. The introduction paragraphs overview the article well and give the reader the big picture. The content mainly focuses on the history of the start to the current phase of the digital resolution, as well as discussing particular technologies of importance. The tone is neutral and focuses on the facts, and remains balanced throughout the article. The sources come from a variety of authors and dates over the past couple of decades. Organization and quality are good and help the reader flow the the article if they're interested in reading further. Images weren't very helpful as they seemed to be just random pictures of computers or graphs that didn't really pertain to the history or what the article is talking about where the image is placed. The captions aren't super helpful either and usually just point out the obvious. The talk page is active with a lot of discussion about the timeline of the digital age, and brings up a point that this article will need to be continually evaluated and changed as time moves on to remain a strong article since the digital age only keeps advancing. Overall, the article is helpful and imforative on the subject. While its images aren't super helpful, everything else within the article is well done.
