Digital includes computers, mobile devices, gaming systems, and social media.
Humanities includes literature, history, languages, philosophy, music, and more. When
these two words come together, they form a definition. Digital Humanities is something that involves a group of people who use online tools such as a computer to analyze and understand literature, history, and more. The exact definition of Digital Humanities is an area of research and teaching at the intersection of computing and the disciplines of the humanities. As Jason Boyd said, "Digital Humanities involves the use of computers, the internet and related technologies to enable the creation and sharing of humanities scholarship in ways not possible in traditional humanities practice".

A good start at a definition, Athena. One note: I love the site that you link to, but the definition changes every time you go to that page (or reload it). So, the text I see when I click on your link isn't the same as above.
