Meaning of Digital Humanities
“Digital Humanities can be described as a diverse and still emerging field that encompasses the practice of humanities research in and through information technology.” To me, digital humanities is a way that people are able to share ideas with one another, while at the same time being able to analyze the use of new technologies that emerge throughout the world every day. With digital humanities, we are able to access archives and databases that allow us to research various topics. I feel as though digital humanities gives everyone the same ability to discover new things, and share their own personal ideas with everyone using the internet.
Some decent material here, Ethan, but note that DH is not necessarily the same thing as emerging technology. It's true that communication technologies do a great deal in the way of circulating information around the world. But DH is more about studying the ways in which that same network can be used for modes of cultural expression like art and poetry and music.
