As we move forward with technology and the advancment of access to information I believe that it is inevitable that the Humanities department will be forever changed. Our society’s technology has pushed the younger generation towards new channels of information and because of this what the old generation feels about words written on a page, the younger generation feels about the digital word on a computer screen.

The Humanities department is doing what essentially all information is doing, advancing in order to excist, like an organism in the real world. Items like kindle and Smart phones have made windows into having classical Middle English Romances available to any curious mind. All one has to Google something like King Horn and there the text is in its original translation with additional notes to go right allong with it. The Humanities department is more than a home for masterpieces of the written word but of the signifcance of what the piece in question had to say about the time. The culture’s values, beliefs, and joys are all laced together in a single work. The Humanities department is not being dissassembled because it is transforming into digital form but rather evolving into something that could potentially give more viewers knowledge of old cultures and ancient stories.

I don’t believe that the Humanities is seperate from the sciences in that everything points back to the idea of how the world functions and continues to move forward. Like anything the Humanities focuses on a specific asspect of Humanity while the sciences have their focus points. There is justification to think they are seperate, however, I do believe the two fields do have a great deal in common and they continue to play important roles in our society’s ability to function.
