Evaluate the article
This article talks about media archaeology, which is essentially looking at forms of old media and how they influence new media. What was interesting to me about this is idea that all media is connected. That even though some form of media may not be used as much anymore, that it aided in creating the medias that we use today. I think about the fact that we use to view movies solely in the theatre. Eventually VHS tapes were created, allowing us to watch movies right from home. Later on DVDs became popular, followed by Blu-ray. Nowadays we primarily use streaming as a means to watch movies from home. All of these are connected, as they each gave us the opportunity to view media from our homes. They’ve each just evolved over time.

I’ve noticed that there isn’t much content surrounding the talk page or any images included. I find this subject to be quite interesting, so I wish there was more to this article. The content provided in this article is still relevant. It appears to have its latest source added from 2021, but I wasn’t able to get the first link under references to load up. It kept giving me an error message of page not found.

I think that this article has a lot of potential, but just needs some more research done. Clearly it is about the links between new and old medias, and I believe that there are more sources about this subject. I’ve never actually heard this term, “media archaeology” before, but I do think that this subject is addressed often in other forms of media studies. It would be great to have more information about this topic that can be linked to other media topics as well. I think that there are numerous links we can make between new and old medias and I think it would be interesting to study this further. Queenones87 (talk) 14:45, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
