Enhancing Analog with Digital Creations
Posted on September 10th, 2012 at 12:03 am by and

Although the past may been defined as an analog age of time and the world nowadays is more digital, the phrase “Don’t Be Left Behind” should continue to have a positive affect on people. This direct recount comes off like a double-edged sword in a sense that a person wants to be informed of anything contemporary and exciting yet still grappling with the fondness of retaining memories. Fortunately, it is not possible to forsake anything from the past. Digitalizing is a technique that is meant to preserve the frailty of history. There are many ways on spreading out history. For example, the Declaration of Independence is tucked away behind a highly secured case. The only way someone can take it home with them is to buy a copy of it from the gift store. On the other hand, many factors such as weather and lack of transportation could present reoccurring hinderances. When that happens, the person could learn a lot about its origin from the Internet in the meantime. They could use the Internet as a secondary source to visualize the Declaration and even learn more about the museum. It does not cut down the number of visitors to the museum; as a matter of fact, it can inspire someone to want to further investigate the museum and stand literally in history. Everyone is capable of partaking in technology. It comes naturally to conduct research online. In addition, communication plays an intense role on the Web. Meticulously planned Web Sites created for historical purposes make learning interesting and allow the viewer multiple ways of wanting more. Web sites are composed of visual images, videos, and text.

Digital history does not, however, throw out the idea of going to the actual destination. For example, there is no way to pinpoint exactly what happened on a battlefield even if present. Creating a detailed digital image with creating data and genuine facts gives an imprint and emotional account of what happened years ago. Now, digital history is a worldwide achievement; everyone who has access to a computer wherever they are could upload files and become immersed to the extensive account of what the past was like and gives them a new view of it.
