Kirsch is skeptical of the digital humanities as an institution. He likens this new form of historical analysis to consumerism: we are impressed with it only because it is new and different, not because it improves upon the task it is accomplishing. Kirsch is also a bitter individualist who does not think that computers can possibly comprehend the Human Experience, and anyway, since computers are programmed by people, they cannot be any better than people.
