So for my hot take, I’d like to focus on Kim Gallon’s book, Making a Case for the Black Digital Humanities.

My first thoughts upon reading the passages were simply amazement at how vast technology is. There’s so much data on the web, that it requires multiple teams of people to properly sort through even a portion of it, to obtain very obscure information hidden deep away from even the all-powerful search engines. Digital technologies are strange because they connect people that otherwise would not be able to meet up. In the past 3 decades, there have been probably some notable historical action that would be recorded on a private message conversation that would practically be impossible to find, and yet, we can only watch this history unfold from the seat of our homes.  And yet, the way our culture intermingles with technology is still ever changing. Lie, I’d never expect Venmo to be a thing in the past.
