The Readings (Post for Monday, Jan 28th)

I thought the readings were very thought provoking.

The introduction to the book Digital History, by Daniel Cohen and Roy Rosezweig, entitled “Promises and Perils of Digital History” shows much thought and insight by the authors on the dangers and opportunities of the digital world. It discusses how media is a medium of communication and in some sense a library of information. I thought this was very intriguing and related it two a coin with two sides, heads being the good aspects about digital information and media and tail being negative aspects and dangers which come from the ever growing digital world. For example having so much information at easy access to the general public is good however with everyone creating and potentially manipulating what already exists makes it difficult to decided what is authentic. As technology advances and software becomes more advances this is a real danger for images and pictures. As a graphic design minor this becomes a personal issue because photos I take or images I create could be edited easily without my permission or made to look like another artist work and uploaded to the web and shared in minutes.

Three topics which I am interested in researching are the history of tea and teapots, women in ancient Greece and Rome, and the history of holy cards.

 

Intro Post for History 390

Hello fellow History 390 classmates!

My name is Cecelia, but I go by Cece, and I’m a senior here at George Mason. I am majoring in History and working towards a minor in Art and Visual Technology (concentrating in Graphic Design). I will be graduating this spring and hope to pursue a career in the field of public history and work for a developing public history project or museum. I’m excited to be taking this class and am looking forward to learning about how the worlds of digital media and history intertwine!
