If you were to ask any twenty random people, who at some level knew what digital humanities was, you would get twenty different definitions. \u00a0Digital humanities is a rather broad subject, and maybe that is why there will never be a definitive definition. \u00a0People can speculate all they want about what the DH should be. \u00a0Because it is on such a large spectrum, it is hard to pin point an exact definition. \u00a0With so many people involved in trying to come up with a definition, they may never agree on one together.<\/p>\n
With so many people out there offering their own opinion on what the digital humanities is, it may not be surprising that there is already a definition out there. \u00a0Somebody just hasn’t combined all of the answers to create one simple explanation for what the digital humanities are. \u00a0Maybe, the DH is so vast that there are people spread out along the spectrum and only stick to that particular spot, who don’t see how the other parts of the spectrum could benefit others or themselves.<\/p>\n
The DH can allow people to think outside of their sphere and venture into unknown territory. \u00a0There is a flexibility that comes with digital humanities. \u00a0You can go outside your area of study and still be a called a digital humanist. \u00a0There is no limit to what the digital humanities can do; every year new technology is made that will lengthen the spectrum and continue to invite more and more people to join. \u00a0This change, or addition of new technology, may change the definition of digital humanities. \u00a0We don’t know yet what this new technology will be and therefore we cannot think of a definition for it. \u00a0Perhaps this is why there will never be a complete definition for what the digital humanities is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
