    1. n order to combat the instrumental tendencies that lie hidden in our uncritical use ofdigital technologies and DH projects, Berry and Fagerjord suggest we make“connections to new forms of rationality that offer possibilities for augmenting orperhaps replacing instrumental rationalities,”

      I believe with technology changing everyday that digital humanities will be able to encompass more in the delivery of information. But I also believe as the shift comes there will be new issues and a never ending stream of what could be approved upon. I think everything has limitations and part of the digital component is the lack of an actual teacher to answer your questions in that moment.

      I feel like there will never be an end to learning what fully encompasses digital humanities. Technology is ever changing and growing, it seems that everyone has the opportunity to use technology to make a difference in whatever field interests them. I feel that just like any weapon technology has the ability to be used for good or bad. Propaganda has the ability to foster hatred and can alternatively decide the good side or the bad. How people feel about a society as a whole can be affected with a single click of a mouse. But on the other hand we can give support to those in need in those countries suffering. Digital Humanities is another outlet for good or evil it is essentially up to the individual behind the screen to determine the outcome. There are millions of views of millions of topics, and who knows which side is accurate.
