Personally, I have resented the encroachment of technology into my life. I have (thus far) successfully rejected getting a Droid, a Kindle or a Tablet. I do not feel the need to be constantly connected to the internet. Despite my biases I was still interested in two essayists Jerome McGann and Shannon Mattern both had ideas that resonated with me. For instance, McGann says, one cannot refuse the digital environment. Although “we may well feel a ‘violent wish to escape’ … we do better to recall that as we are characters in these events, we bear a responsibility to them.” Another reading that helped me understand what DH has to offer was Shannon Mattern. As Mattern explains, “the multimodal scholar ‘thinks carefully about the relationship of form to content, expression to idea’ … ‘what happens when scholarship looks and feels differently, requiring new modes of engagement from the reader/user’” Accepting these notions would bridge the gap between not only the scientific and traditional communities, but also between the technologically gifted and the technologically inept.
