What kind of addition? Like starred locations?

So do they look back on the land and make assumptions about the future based on what they see in the past?

Using technology to find unknown connections between two visuals can reveal new and interesting things!

The Cleveland Museum of Art is using technology that is approaching this sort of method. They have an interactive gallery where visitors can play games that connect to the art as well as explore how certain shapes and faces conjure up art throughout the museum.

Analyzing visually is much harder than it seems and requires a much more intense way of figuring out how the computer can mimic human processes with different techniques. As humans, we can see depth, but a computer cannot. We must incorporate things like "blurriness" and "darkness" into the programs.

Everyone can bring their own special skills to the table - just like DH, everyone has something important to contribute.

So true. Convenience is a big part of how we make decisions as humans.

How can they assume that everyday American citizens would catch on to this easily? Many people pay no attention to who they give their information to or where it goes. With the rapid progression of the internet, we have become much more liberal about where we put information. Sure, many of us are cautious, but many more are not taught about the risks of giving out personal information. Edward Snowden did us a big favor.

Finding an equilibrium between ethics and efficiency is hardly possible unless we lived in a perfect world. I don't approve of it, but it happens.

"Ethics" is an interesting term because many people tend to ignore this part of the internet. We see many examples of ethical uses of the internet, but many more unethical uses that taint the way people ingest information.

There's advertising, sure, but there are also laws set in place that reduce the number of citizens able to vote, for example. Republicans rejected a movement to make voting day a national holiday so that a portion of voters who usually can't vote are able to. They also put regulations and policies in place (like the multiple ID rule) to restrict voting access.

This is just like the stores that pick up information from your credit cards as you pass by...

What about Edward Snowden? Watch Citizenfour and we see that leaking information is not always bad.

We thrive off of new information that tells us more about who we are and what we might become.

This is our natural instinct as humans. We love order and structure.

Just like other articles we've read - diversity in digital humanities will only improve the output of the area of study.

Ironically, a lot of people are unaware of this issue because of lack of information that is distributed about it. Most people aren't in digital humanities and learning about this as their homework and probably will not stumble upon it by accident. So how can we change this?

We are talking about race on a platform that those who we talk about do not have access to.

The argument against this is that the digital humanities gives voices to minorities or people who have their voices suppressed (like the APWA does).

Just like language (colloquialisms, sentence structures, etc.), a computer can't do everything a human can.

This is sad. How will we cross over platforms?

Yes, but again, more seats for those who already had seats

This wish is not always met as lots of unnecessary info is brought to the surface

This rings very true. It gives those with small voices a sense of power. We see this as younger generations become more vocal. This is also a downfall seeing as we have issues like fake news and unwanted access to inappropriate websites.

Must pay attention to how we are carrying it across years of technology advancements

Like the web we talked about in class that showed both source information and database item information

Collection priorities can change the way people view the collection

How do you reach audiences who you do not know want to access your collection?

This can take extensive amounts of time. Like we talked about before, technology for archiving constantly changes and we find out that certain methods aren't as efficient or protective as others.

Since DH is such a collaborative subject, you have to make sure references are accurate so that everyone gets credit for their contributions

A lot of PDFs are very useless in this sense - annotating becomes fruitless as well.

DH at its core.

This reminds me of the Odyssey as Odysseus fights the call of the sirens. He tells his crew to stuff their ears so that they cannot hear, but he is tied up to the boat as they pass by the sirens so that he can experience the sirens on his own. By holding back and not listening to the sirens, Sheldrake captures the idea that we should not cave to outside desires and focus on the child-like wonder that this song encourages.
