What is Digital Humanities?

Digitial Humanities is a realtively new term that has come to light largely due to this generations advancements in technology and social media. The term “Digial Humanities” is a very broad term that encompasses many topics.

One example that comes to mind when I think of Digital Humanities is, today you’ll notice that physical newspapers are in real danger of going out of business unless they can (or have already) make the transition to online news, which is constantly updating 24/7.

In todays generation everything in connected by the internet. So all in all, Digital Humanities is just Humanities that has been digitialized in an attempt to stay alive in todays technology driven world, just like the newspapers.
