INTRODUCTION
The term digital humanities has been evolving for several decades and often describes the application and/ or development of digital tools and resources to enable researchers to address questions and perform new types of analyses in the humanities disciplines. The definition of digital humanities in oxford dictionary digital humanities an academic field concerned with the application of computational tools and methods to traditional humanities disciplines such as literature history and philosophy.
As we understand in this modern era for some years the all highest elevated learning methods have been digitalizing like PhD and others. When we are living in mediated society we have to become a mediated man. But unfortunately such as digital humanities and unprecedented methods of learnings are occurring in students, their interaction with digital technologies since early ages will cause for many difficulties and disadvantages more over it will terribly effect on their existence in society as very comfortable. The growth in digital humanities courses has included an increasing number of undergraduate students engaging with digital technologies.
Hence, I have mainly found five impacts on students due to digital humanities.
In shortly
Consequences On students’ eye sight
Consequences on mutual and social interaction of students
Consequences on memory power
Domination on students by frauds
Students become lazier
Consequences on Students’ Eye Sight
Modern infant education is possessed by visualization. If children are constant before such lightening screens it will firmly effect on child eyes vigorously. So many prominent scientists proved that the watching of high dense moving pictures from short distance, it will cause for blur their eye sights. Electronics actually emit a blue light which has negative effects on students’ eyes. Blue light exposure is a high wavelength off visible blue light. It penetrates to the backward of eye, bypassing our eyes natural filters. This blue light exposure is in causing permanent vision damage and can lead to various eye conditions and diseases. It has a silent but dangers impact on our student’s long term vision. Blue light from devices is especially damaging on children. we know the case of the society the all parents have given o their students in their early ages smartphones tabs and others. Entertainment electronic devises they are not understand that theses all are poisons devices.
One of the most common negative effects of over exposing students’ eyes to digital devices and screens are headaches this is due to the connections between eye and the brain. when you stare at a screen for an extend period of time, eye strain can occur and lead to painful tension headache because of this children’s eyes work hard o be able to focus which can lead to muscle spasms near the tempies.
Consequence on mutual and social interaction of students

The second problems by digital humanities on cognitive skills of students, that if the digital humanities will be retained in students their social mutual relationship will be collapsed. This will affect their communication moreover they will be trappedinto deep cave of isolation. When the student uses the digital technologist they have hatted to speak and interact with their parents and other family members. They more greed to interact with digital technologies than with society. It drags a solitude life where is not any relation with society outside, because a student he only study devicesnever be teachers to submit reverence and there is not a proper contact with parents and other family members. rightly because there are outside of his path. I firmly emphasis the technology is effecting the relationship between teachers and students. There is also a feeling that future relationship will become more distant and less personal.
One learner described the relationship between lecturers and students as more ‘indirect’. A teacher reported that she felt technology was a barrier. A university lecturer felt that too many slides on a powerpoint presentation would not only “get in the way” of the learning but also the rapport. An online learner and teacher described the experience of e-learning as Bing “detached”from the course. As a student, I believe we cannot afford to ignore these changes. We should learn how to build effective relationships with our teachers. This may mean we need to re-assess how we create relationship and build rapport with our teachers. We should encourage learners to commit to the course in the same way they would if the class was face – to – face.
Consequences on memory power
The third prime and notable impact of this on students that the study something through digital devises never last in our memory constantly. According to a survey report “the using of digital technologies is instrumental matter in happening oblivion in human beings. in fact, does technology effect our memory? I firmly say that the answer is “yes” digital technology effects human being every day in multiple ways. it shapes our memory, Our perception of things,our intelligence. Even though student’s brain can have hold almost an infinite amount of information.
Technology can still affect how much information we can hold and retain. According to tony Schwartz, CEO of the energy project, he compares the brain to a full glass of water when you pour more water in the glass, or add new information. The water just fills in it the water that was previously there pours out. He is showing that the information that we are retaining from digital technology replaces our old information and that information just leaves our brain. another argument that Carolyn makes in her article about how technology effect memory is that the fact that the internet has so much information, that is easily accessible. we as humans tend to note remember as much information eave though technology may not affect the actual information that we receive it does affect how we perceive it and store it on our memory. technology decreases the strength of the memory and how well we will be able to retain that information from our brain. So yes technology strongly affects our memory.
DOMINATION ON STUDENTS BY FRAUDS
As we know, in the internet regions how many snares. So ignorant students may be trap in the cave of deception and cheating. So students’ goals may be changed to other regions. If we probe we can see many instance based on this. Many frauds have been waiting their victims. They have charming skill to enchant the students. The students don’t know that they have been enchanted by such as frauds. Moreover the students contemplate this as very amazing and contempt. Likewise when the students interact constantly with digital devices perhaps they have to posses many online games due to their engaging on such as games.
We had heard some years ago about a game namely blue whale. The teen boy comes across the online games. The ‘blue whale’ he is given one challenge after the other. He accomplishes every task and keeps on moving to the subsequent levels. The final and concluding challenge asks him to commit suicide. He clicks himself on top of a building and jumps. If police speculations are to be believed, this is what led to the death of 14 year old Mumbai boy. This was first death in India owing to blue whale. The students see such as dreadful games as entertainment. They cannot understand that which are rights and which are wrongs. This is not their problems but the students’ age is a very beyond compare, in this era they cannot regulate their thoughts.
STUDENTS BECOME LAZIER
As a college student in the 21st century I have been privileged to witness the modernization of technology learning in my time as students. Many people are astonished by what we are how capable of doing by the touch of a button. For example, students can type notes on an iPod. That can fit their pockets instead of writing them down. But what kinds of students are being created by these new technologies? I believe that many of the technological advances used for learning are creating lazier students and possibly hindering our capability of becoming more intelligent.
According to SUSAN BLACKMORE, lecturer in psychology at the University of West England, claimed that e-learning is making children mentally lazy by encouraging them to rely on the click of a button for information. She told the audience of academics attending debate that the expense of information available on the internet is preventing children from memorising and storing knowledge in their brain. As we know the world renowned scientist Stephen hawking argued that the increasing sophistication of computer technology is likely to outstrip human intelligence in the future. He claimed that humans should be genetically engineered if they are to compete with the phenomenal growth of artificial intelligent. As we make our way into the future the rising importance of technology cannot be ignored, but think constant use of technology in the class room is taking away from the work ethic needed. In the work force today students need to start seeing the importance of hard work and not always rely on what is fastest and easiest. I believe professors should still incorporate technology into the class room, but should make assignments that also do not have anything to do with technology but it is also up to students to realise the importance of hard work and for them to realise u cannot always rely on technology
CONCLUSION
The daily news has been proving that the digital humanities community has worked hard to produce these resources. Scholars in the digital humanities already are teaching the next generation of students, not only how to use electronic resources, but how to create them and expand them. So we must understand that this will procure more impacts on students than benefits. So we have to wave such as learning methods for our comfortable future existence.
