Conclusion

I think there is a difference between my book and the other endangered books. Other books may have been banned from distribution in the political and social context of the time. But Archimedes' book was lost in the process of dissemination, but eventually, it was recovered. It is a different kind of experience to have it lost and found. And such an important book for the history of human mathematics, so many people worked so hard to find it after it was lost and then used such a complicated scientific method to recover it after it was found. This is not only a search for history and knowledge but also an exploration of technology. Researchers are more able to stimulate new ideas and new ways to deal with such problems and to invent new technologies. In my opinion, this is the progress of both the history and wisdom of mankind.

the “new media encounter” moment between the endangered book and your presentation of it in a digital medium. 

This new approach gives us an opportunity to share knowledge across borders, institutions, and disciplines. A research project will require a more diverse set of people to participate. It also facilitates the participation of both scholars and ordinary people, who can be transformed from respondents to creators, bringing huge amounts of data to the researchers. In addition, the means and methods of research will be gradually diversified, and instead of constantly consulting data, it will be possible to participate in social media discussions and to follow and participate in various ways, instead of everyone needing to be present as before. In addition to these tangible manifestations, there are also four advances in the value of traditional humanities research: first, the leap from document retrieval databases to quantitative analysis databases; second, the leap from maps to geographic information systems and spatial analysis; third, the leap from data to text mining research; and fourth, the leap from text to graphic image visualization.

Of course, digital humanities also need to face many issues, such as the privacy and security of the Internet, as well as the issue of copyright. More importantly, what needs to be considered is whether digital humanities develop human creativity or restricts it. Will we get more or fewer talented humanists? Are we becoming subservient to "computing" and "numbers" as we enjoy the conveniences of the digital humanities? These are the issues we need to face together.
