Google Fusion Tables
Google Fusion Tables where have you been all my life? Okay, I don't actually have a project in mind specifically for this application, but it still seems extremely helpful for what it does and all it's capabilities.

I am curious to see if I can actually use this as I teach ENG 101 online again this Fall. What a cool project.

OS-based text analysis programs
Ah memory lane. My kids can't even fathom that we had to put the DOS in first before playing our Black Cauldron games or typing an important document with pixelated clip art on it.

electronic mail
I still remember the very day my mom's friend showed me what email was in her campus office. I was amazed and sure I would never need to use it. :)

out whether or not students should learn computer programming was ongoing. Somefelt that it replaced Latin as a ‘‘mental discipline’’
This is an interesting notion. I know my nephew learned Latin in high school, but he is the only person I know to have done this. Programming and coding are obviously more widely taught and more marketable. Must one replace the other? I don't think so, certainly students can learn both, but I find the author's comparison interesting.

archive of texts
An archive to collect and perhaps this is what the author means by consolidate through these types of collections?

The key driver behind the establishment of the OxfordText Archive (OTA) in 1976 was the need sim
Ok so, Beginnings: 1949 to early 1970s and now we are evolving to the consolidation period of 1970s to mid 1980s: meaning...well I am not sure what consolidation means just yet as it appears that things are expanding in this time period to more conferences and programs that provide greater access... the beginnings of a digital library even. Maybe consolidation means a greater working together from what was created in the beginning. I shall read on...

s concentrating on an examination of the frequen-cies of common words
Something about these types of projects just makes my heart sing. These are my people. I have always been fascinated with this type of information. What a fantastic history. I wonder if the author will delve into non-Western examples of this too. Obviously some cultures had more oral histories if we go far back, but not all and even the oral histories could have their own computing methods obviously.

humanities computing
I wish the essay would define this however as they use the term again in the same paragraph and definitional work always helps me to further grasp a concept. Here's a wiki-page for the term (https://wiki.digitalclassicist.org/Humanities_Computing), but I would be interested in the author's understanding of the term and how it informs the piece.
