Digital Humanities. Two words, hundreds of meanings. Digital humanities may be hard to define, but to me, it is a field full of research, creativity, collaboration, and words mixed with sound, color, music, animation, etc. As the name infers, it involves digital media and the humanities. A few types of media platforms, for example, are computers, cell phones, gaming systems, and social media. However, these digital medias on their own are not considered "digital humanities." The pieces of work must be interactive using literature, history, languages, philosophy, sociology, or visual arts. As technology advances over time, the digital humanities will as well.
Some very good material here, Taylor. That link made me literally laugh out loud.
