Digital humanities doesn't have a singular definition or application. Both words that make up this term are so different that they almost don't belong together. Digital reminds me of technology while humanities reminds me of literature and history. When these two words are combined, they make a new way to experience literature and technology. It creates an environment that "creators and users experiment and interact with source materials in ways that yield new findings, while also facilitating community building and information sharing." Digital humanities is the connection of the humanities that how been know to humans since before most of us were born, and the growing use of technology started in the last century. That's my digital humanities.

That's a good link, there, Sarah. I'm a bit confused by your last couple of sentences, though: "Digital humanities is the connection of the humanities that how been know to humans since before most of us were born, and the growing use of technology started in the last century. That's my digital humanities." By "how been know" do you mean "have been known?" And what do you mean by "humanities that [have been known] to humans since before most of us were born?" I think you might be a bit confused on what the Humanities are.
