Digital Humanities: Week 6 Reflection

This week’s reflection is just going to be a bunch of questions I have that I may have more conversations about with multiple people in the future. I’m sorry that these might seem out of context and lack a bit of introspection like my other reflections, but I think jotting these questions down helped me identify my thought process much better.


  • How do digital spaces influence the way history is written, especially since, on balance, every single one of us has a mode of expression to the masses?
  • Are there, or could there ever be, safeguards to ensure the passing down of accurate history?
  • Would this create societal in-cohesion to the point that truth gets so convoluted that we pass a point of no return?
  • In regard to the point raised about “silenced stories of the past” or histories that we don’t have accurate tracing of, can digital development help in identifying and ironing out details to find the truth of the past?
  • Does technology really care about truth?
  • What does this mean in terms of our individual digital footprint and the things we put out? Should we consider the implications it would have on future generations?
  • And if it is, then why is it not such a big deal, why is it not talked about, and why haven't we as a society provided methods to combat it?
  • Should the government or some authoritative figure step in and weed out those who deliberatley spread misinformation?
  • And if that is the case, when in conflict, is censorship more preferred than misinformation?

Applied Digital Humanities: Project Proposal

Project Focus This project examines Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems as socio-technical infrastructures that reorganize knowledge, labor, and authority within large organizations. Rather than treating ERP as merely business software, this study frames it as a digital infrastructure that reshapes how disciplines communicate, how workflows are structured, and how institutional knowledge is produced and controlled. Using the ongoing ERP implementation at Avista Corporation as a case study, this project analyzes whether ERP systems meaningfully integrate organizational functions or simply reorganize and redistribute existing silos under a centralized technological framework. What is an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning System):  Enterprise resource planning (ERP) refers to a type of software that organizations use to manage day-to-day business activities such as accounting, procurement, project management, risk management and compliance, and supply chain operations.  ...

Applied Digital Humanities: Project Proposal Draft

Project Focus: Pros and Cons of Enterprise Resource Planning as an Interdisciplinary Infrastructure What is an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning System):  Enterprise resource planning (ERP) refers to a type of software that organizations use to manage day-to-day business activities such as accounting, procurement, project management, risk management and compliance, and supply chain operations.  ERP systems tie together a multitude of business processes and enable the flow of data between them. By collecting an organization’s shared transactional data from multiple sources, ERP systems eliminate data duplication and provide data integrity with a single source of truth. - Oracle: What is ERP? (https://www.oracle.com/erp/what-is-erp/) Project Objective and Motivation:  The objective of this project is to critically examine enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems as interdisciplinary socio-technical infrastructures that shape how labor moves across an organization. I will ...

Digital Humanities: Week 2 Reflection

AI and Art   Dead men tell no tales, but they do sing songs after 43 years of their passing, or so I thought when I received a notification on November 2, 2023, from Spotify announcing that The Beatles had released a new song. The Beatles officially broke up after 1974, and two of the four members passed away in the years that followed. Yes, there were songs and recordings that came out well into the '90s and early 2000s, but it was still a surprise to the world to get a new Beatles song in 2023. Was it a prank? A fluke? If not, then what sorcery was this? And that is when Artificial Intelligence and 'Lord of the Rings' director Peter Jackson come into the picture. In a nutshell, Peter Jackson, with the help of machine learning and AI, was able to retrieve and isolate John Lennon’s voice from an old cassette. They then proceeded to retrieve George’s old guitar riffs in the vault and recorded McCartney and Ringo in the studio, successfully creating a song with two living Bea...
