Same here?

Love this explanation! Historians who face Big data struggle more, but emerge with a unique interpretation.

Trial and Error!!!

This is super neat. It really sums up the type of patterns we as historians are to be looking for, to build our knowledge of history at those times even greater then before. Studying of linguistics has many perks!

Here is a good summary of one of this classes learning goals. To understand this and be able to do this!

Neat to see data pulled from something as simple as the newspaper then digitized to show society/space being changed.

This make complete sense to me, as the world expanded with the railroad so did space, places, time. As places became relevant, the news in these places would too!!

Even as new medias arise, this issues is still strongly noticeable. The digital divide between urban/rural!!

Ah yes, the power of media. I love this topic. Similarly In another class, we talked about how the invention of the train reshaped peoples perception of space and time. Spaces became shorter, yet larger, and time itself grew.

The grid systems out here in country side of manitoba are square miles, set with correction lines. Getting lost is fairly hard, but when you do loose your sense of direction out on the gravel it will toss your senses off, the world feels HUGE all of a sudden, until you hit a main highway that is. At least here in manitoba the dirt roads are numbered, not like in sask.

These bad boys really show how particular and aware one has to be when doing this type of work! If one does not take the time to make sure everything is correct the initial end result would be soooo disappointing.

Would anyone want to give me a simpler definition of serialization?

Thanks

I can understand why. It would be hard to give up something that makes work go better!

Not only that, but there would be less formatting issues in general.

As you have read, there are clearly benefits that accompany using a technical plan. "Plan" being the key word, it should always be apart of your digital work.

Interesting point.

May as well attempt to build and starting point. Though by doing this i think the type of materials would be very different from the ones crowdsourced.

Fair enough. It would be intimidating to submit something if one has never done it before, or felt they were smart/knowledgable enough too do so. I think crowdsourcing projects like this can really show populations they have something to contribute no matter the content.

Ideally, everyone in the world should have the access to the web. Unfortunately this is not the case. Even on my farm here, home in Manitoba there is a obvious disconnect between urban/rural internet connection and the services provided. In town, 20 minutes east, internet is fast and reliable and usually unlimited for much cheaper. Here on the farm it is limited, expensive and pretty terrible. (want to watch a facebook video? Yeah not a chance unless you're home alone) That being said, it is clear that i have less web access then those who use it in town.. digitized democracy is not attainable when such digital divides are present.

I used One note all through highschool and never knew this.

Hist3814 101. Keep calm and study on folks!

No cell service in the farm yard, waiting on a verification code forever! Gunna take a walk down the lane way. Rural vs Urban problems.

This compelled me to think about the times when i would be shocked by the words i had to end up using in order to find material. Those instances made me reflect on my own knowledge, and the endless frustration that accompanies searching for works via text search.

can someone explain this further please?

SOS.

This here really shows her views on DH.

This goes to show how fresh the digital humanities really is. There are still so many obstacles and unknown areas of policy, and how to's out there. Progressive scholars are going to have to deal with these issues patiently.

With regards to future of digital humanities this will play an important roll in the progress DH will endure. (I believe that progress is going to happen as everything becomes mediated by technologies)

She takes pride in her work and really understands there are benefits that come from sharing the information she has collected.

This is a perspective i did not see at first. I always valued the outcome of works more than the research but realistically the research has a equal if not higher value then the outcome of a project itself. I say this because the research itself provides more evidence, more insight and paints the picture of how the project came to be.

As milligan previously mentions, not all historians are willing to give their research out. So we are dealing with the information at hand; i can see this proving to bring difficulties and grey areas in research.

He is clearly open to what it has to offer historians

All mediums come with various affordances and disallowances - all new mediums challenge the old ones.

I think this has the potential to act as a review zone for researchers by fellow researchers. By seeing the direction of ones research another can suggest a different approach ect.

Though a professional from what i read here, he is clearly open to new things, that may become norms.

I can imagine the weight that would be lifted from a historians shoulder if this was a readily available feature. Especially for primary sources, from previous attempts at finding primary sources for my ancient greek classes, this would've been very helpful with the outcome and the time it took to do so.

Similarly, radio has more power behind it then the television, the words alone carry more influence as the listeners are not distracted by the images. I think this carries over well into the idea that text is less powerful then speech.

Yes, we should and yes we can! By looking to the past and critically assessing the changes, trends and patterns that have arisen with the new tools available; the present day and future institutions/societies can move forward progressively, learning from past mistakes ect.

Can someone explain this further?

Interesting! I hope this is corrected in the near future.

he did not have to use all of the aspects from the big data he was working with

Relating back to the definition of the macroscope this makes a lot of sense. Compression of this information allowed the researcher here to create a clear relation/pattern from his information.

what is this?

This made macroscope make sense to me!

Neat.
