Mark Sample has an interesting article about a divide in the digital humanities. This divide speaks about those creating the tools to distribute the knowledge and those who are thinking about what knowledge to distribute. He claims that we shouldn’t focus on the divide and instead look at these as “perspectives” and to all get together to make sure that we do the field its justice.  He says that “The promise is in the way the digital reshapes the representation, sharing, and discussion of knowledge.” and that that we should share more freely. Mr sample also says that “The “builders” will build and the “thinkers” will think, but all of us, no matter where we fall on this false divide, we all need to share. Because we can”.

This article made me think that the digital humanities might not always be so scholarly based on how the information is shared and that we need both thinkers and builders so that all the information is more accurate and spread out the right way. The words I used to define the field were  Recreate, Re-imagine, Recirculate. the reason I use word with “re” in it is because Digital humanities seems to me a process of putting up old things such as history, and literature in New forms using new methods and technology so that it can be evenly distributed to everyone.
