"Always Already New: Media, History, and the Data of Culture" by Lisa Gitelman focuses largely on the importance of correctly archiving historical media. What I found interesting was the discussion about how the World Wide Web changes so frequently. There doesn't seem to be an accurate archive of how the World Wide Web was in the past. I think it is important to record changes to web pages and make them accessible to the public.
This piece was kind've difficult to read for me. At points I didn't really understand which direction Gitelman was heading in her discussion or the points she was trying to make. I feel discussion in class will be valuable to my understanding.
