I don't see the gear symbol. I looked up Rezovis, I can't tell if it's a seperate voyant tool or if I should be seeing it when I copy the text into the Voyant text box in the first page or in the results?

I truly believe that interdisciplinary studies is the way of the future. With many STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) buildings and clubs being built and created, and even some of them being renamed to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math), I think that class discussions and learning in general will become more profound than only learning what you need to in order to graduate. Learning from people who have different perspectives and ideas is how people get inspired and create things that have never been thought of before. It also allows them the opportunity to collaborate with people that they would perhaps never have met before.

I remember when I was studying for my Film Studies midterm in the Engineering building at Uottawa, and someone sat down and started asking me what class I was studying for and if she could join. When I said Film Studies, she asked why I was in the engineering building and before I could answer, she walked away. I found this really odd and all of a sudden felt like because I was in Arts, I was not welcomed in this building, which is something that I hope will change soon.

as in reading the words as a sentence (with all the necessary parts to understanding)?

I took a programming class last year and we learned Python. I wish the class had been taught differently. I'm not an engineering student and had no background in programming, which I thought was fine since it was an intro class. However, it seemed that the prof was not capable of teaching in "beginner mode". I don't feel like I learned anything at all.

If this is the case, then why don't historians keep a better record of the data cleaning process?

Maybe the use technology for historians is relatively new enough that backing up isnt engrained yet into the minds of historians and the "ease" of using technology is still new and outweighing the risks?

this is a scary thing i'm sure for digital historians or for anyone who's career relies greatly on the internet. lot's of money and time is probably spend on external hard drives and backing up all your files externally.

this is what I mean about technology always evolving and how historians will have to evolve with it and there's no doubt that even 10-15 years from now historians will be doing things very differently.

I wonder what the most challenging part about being a digital historian is. I would think that it's constantly having to transfer files/data to new platforms because of updating technologies? Maybe there's also the aspect of having to weed out data/notes that are no longer relevant to what you're currently studying? If a better platform is created that meets your needs it would make sense to transfer your data there even though it may be a pain at first - it's just park of the job!

I think that it is important to keep a log of everything you do when doing a big research project, so that others can get a clear idea of your thought path and why certain choices were made. Your trials and errors could reduce other's errors!

Like my pervious comment, when working on a government computer, I'm careful with what I say in personal emails about my job or the people I work with.

property rights as in while your "here" you have certain rights, but human rights are always yours (or should be, at least). No matter where you are, who you are, you should always have your human rights.

I work in government and I guess the human equivalent is an ATIP request. At any point, you may be asked to provide information on someone or something. It stands for Access to Information and Privacy. The access to privacy throws me off a bit, but I suppose using government servers kind of takes away your privacy.

Why is this a positive aspect of having a TPM?

Are we talking about robots here? or maybe artificial, mechanical joints or nerves implanted as a kind of transplant during a hip replacement or something?

Science will never FULLY take over the social roles of humans because of the important nuances that make individuals non-programable or not 100% decipherable/predicable by computers.

I type this and it says that git cannot auto-detect my email address...I can't write any more commands now

do i hit enter after each command line? there's always an error message when I get to the pandoc -v part. Plus, I just tried to start from the beginning and now it wont lit me log in in the command line

I think that any online publication that is free for students or researchers to access (even better free for the public) is what is 'generous' in publishing. Anyone that is willing to have their work available for free simply for the benefit of those wanting to learn more about whatever it is you wrote about.

I totally get that, in school it was about trying to make up our own opinions and guessing why the curtains in Giovanni's Room were blue, for example, as opposed to actually reading and appreciating the flow of the story.

Never heard of this/what it would be compared to American/Canadian feminist studies.

Are there not already online copies of books and articles? It seems kind of "old school" to travel to another city to find a book or article.

this is what I meant about having open research, the last person who contributes to the project, for example, get's credit for everything that everyone else did before him even though he used their findings.

Would a research project ever be complete if this were to be the norm? if anyone can constantly add too it, then will there ever be a real conclusion?

would this mean that id a historian is researching something and another historian or anyone, for that matter, is researching the same thing that the second person can modify the first's research/findings?

This is so important to do, because technology changes so fast and society needs people who are able to mold to the changes and find new ways of doing things.

As a communications and digital humanities student, the way that the humanities are evolving is very essential in order to keep up with more traditional "techy" areas of study. Technology, social media and the expectation/need to access what you're looking for in an instant is real and isn't going anywhere. Plus. the "humans" that the humanities are observing, studying, working with are all influenced by technology in one way of another so it only makes sense to understand the technology that shapes us as people in a shared technological society.

cool!

Cool!
