    1. r most of the first decade of the confusion, my public strategy was studious denial. I would complain privately to friends and tomy partner, Avi, sure, but publicly I was mostly silent. Even when, in 2019, Wolf started tagging me daily in her tweets about theGreen New Deal, clearly trying to draw me into a debate about her baseless theory that the whole thing was a sort of green shockdoctrine—a nefarious plan by bankers and venture capitalists to grab power under cover of the climate emergency—I did not engage withher. I did not try to address the confusion. I did not join those mocking her

    1. If the “digital” in your DH project isn’t causing discomfort, you’re doing something wrong. Digital discomfort — any intellectual, inter/intrapersonal, pedagogical, and emotional discomfort mediated by the digital — is not only useful to DH research, it’s crucial

      When using some social media applications, I will have some discomfort because my privacy is leaked. For example, I may register an account, but I don't want some of my friends to know it, but the app will still recommend me to follow "people I may know".

      We have always enjoyed the convenience of the Internet and online communication, but the highlight here made me reflect on how difficult academic research and communication would be without social media, without the support of technology

    1. An important milestone occurred in the 1990s when cultural heritage institutions began creating digital copies of their holdings and sharing them online for free

      The development of technology has brought about the development of culture, and without the help of technological progress, without the help of the Internet, I can't imagine how long it would have taken for us to have and use so much information and data

    1. o underline that this is a method, aprocedure worth thinking about as such, I will call it side-glancing. Meanwhile, asprimary as well as secondary sources are uploaded from an increasingly broad swathof the globe, full-text searchability has made seeking individuals, place names,phrases, titles, and organizations across hundreds of thousands of publications a via-ble way to trace international movement.

      Full-text search is really a very important feature, when I only need to read a few pages of reading material, I can still read all of it, but when I face hundreds of pages of historical information, I dare not imagine how to read the main content without full-text search

    1. igital history that operates outside of academic contexts is, according toHart, a vibrant space that problematizes both how the field defines itselfand how it is defined by others.

      When asked in the outline assignment what I was most interested in about the course, my answer was what role digital history plays in our daily lives outside of the academic realm. Although I know that the development of knowledge and technology cannot be separated from academic research, I still look forward to seeing digital history outside the academic background. This paragraph makes me look forward to learning what I am interested in in this course.

    1. A student asked his Zen master how long it would take to reach enlightenment.  “Ten years,” the master said.  But, the student persisted, what if he studied very hard?  “Then 20 years,” the master responded.  Surprised, the student asked how long it would take if he worked very, very hard and became the most dedicated student in the Ashram.  “In that case, 30 years,” the master replied.  His explanation:  “If you have one eye on how close you are to achieving your goal, that leaves only one eye for your task.”

      This story made me understand a lot of truth to a large extent. I've always been a person who cares about results. For example, when I choose a course, I think about what graduation requirements the course meets, rather than "I like this course." But this story made me realize that if I focus too much on the outcome and too much on the goal, I may make the road to success more difficult.
