Many innovations fail to make it to the marketplace.
Those innovations that do make it TO the marketplace, are received with varying degrees of enthusiasm once they arrive. Many materialize only for brief periods, and quickly fade away. Some are adopted only to be refined and extended, and modified by add-on innovations, to the extent that they evolve into something radically different than their original form. They are the moribund media. This page will provide examples of such innovations to archive and preserve their existence, lest we forget that many innovations fail.
