The idea of text searching has been a recent phenomenon within digital media. Before text searching, it could take hours to search through an article or database. With the benefit of text search, the user is able to enter a word or phrase and if that word or topic is within the database or article then it will be pulled up. For example in the database Enslaved Children of George Mason<\/a>, the user can search any topic and if that topic or item is in the database then it will be pulled up. For example, in this database I searched Virginia and the database brought up 9 different articles discussing Virginia, such as the Trial Book<\/a>for Colony of Virginia. The concept of text search has significantly made it easier to research a topic for school or work and turn hours into minutes while searching for a topic. Also, within dissertations, which are extensive, systematic data sets are able to be compare large amounts of information quickly.[1]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Digital Projects can create significant social change. The interesting thing about digital media is that it can be shared all around the world with many people. Many different projects can lead to social change. For example, charities and organizations can use the new digital technology to connect people and make change. On History pin [2]<\/sup><\/a>the creators can use this digital project to create communities and bring social change about topics tied to certain areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While digital media is an awesome and amazing tool to use, it has its problems. First, there are certain abilities lost when using digital tools. The ability to hold and feel or smell items and artifacts is a problem that writes must juggle with when trying to share an idea. For example, when discussing coins from the World War II era, it is important to feel the coins because during this time period Germans did not put much metal into coins, so their coins almost felt face and plastic like. This is an important aspect that the writer would want the reader to know, but they can\u2019t actually feel a coin through the computer. It is interesting also that newspapers and old paper artifacts would also want to be felt in order to understand paper fragility and creation during the past.
