This reading gave me a new perspective on the capabilities of digital text analysis and visualization. I had previously thought that digital analyzation of text would be limiting. How could a computer, that works on a system of 0’s and 1’s, analyze text in more ways than my brain could? However, this article made me realize the breadth of possibilities present with Digital text analysis. I found it particularly interesting when the authors explained how analysis could reveal to the reader new ways to look at the reading. The authors take into account that the interpretations generated by the analysis methods are to be questioned like any other human source and interpretation, which I found important. I think we often believe that digitized calculations and analysis are correct without questioning them even though we would question the conclusions of our peers. The suggestion to question the results of computers and the span of possibilities they are capable of makes me see computers almost in a more human way. I’ve generally thought of computers as able to compute numbers quickly, however, I’ve never considered them to be able to do analysis on texts like this article made me understand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
