He shared his experience on text searching and how that plays into digital history. I, myself, have used text searching in places like google to gather information whether for a research project or for my own curiosity. Tony presented options for text searching through the George Mason library that can help expand the information gathered through text searching. This will help broaden the amount of information I am exposed to. <br>  Text searching has greatly specified the information that I search for. It allows me to search for specific information without having to comb through lots of other information as in a physical library or book. This saves me a great deal of time when researching and also opens up doors to related information to the one I am researching. <br> Digital projects certainly have the potential to make social change especially through exposure. Considering how online our modern world is, it is very possible for a digital project like Mason Legacies or Enslaved Children of George Mason to be seen and have an impact on people. These projects would do most of their social change through informing rather than actually presenting new ideas and forming new thoughts. I am a firm believer in the saying &#8220;Those who do not learn their history are doomed to repeat it&#8221;, so I think these digital projects that teach and inform people about the past can significantly prevent people from making similar mistakes in the future. <span id='easy-footnote-1-340' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'><\/span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https:\/\/jessicadoeshistory.com\/courseblog\/searching\/blog-post-2-7\/#easy-footnote-bottom-1-340' title=' mason legacies.org '><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span>  <br> When using digital media we can lose a sense of tone and identity that comes with being just another user online. Information presented on the internet can be misinterpreted as it is one sided and is not a conversation where thoughts and ideas can be clearly exchanged. Digital media also runs the risk of being lost in the massive information database that is the world wide web. With all the websites and information on the web their is the possibility of these digital media projects being lost and never really garnering the attention they deserve. The positives of digital media are far more significant however, with the ability to reach people across the country and world in so many places.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> 1.
