2.Discuss the following statement: Two fundamental truths shape and qualify the
role of storage-and-retrieval systems-familiarly called computers-in literary re
search: (1). The material to be stored and classified must be of a homogeneous n
ature, adaptable to mechanical handling (in other words, not mass of discrete da
ta), (2) The computer can handle data only in ways for which it is specifically
and precisely programmed, and no human labor. The cost of a programmerâ expertise
and of time on the computer substantial, it, too, may be an important limitation
on the size a particular project may assume.
As the state of Dr. Johnson in the book entitled The Art of Literary Research th
at â Knowledge is two kinds. We know a subject ourselves or we know where we can fi
nd information upon it. When we enquire into any subject, the first thing we hav
e to do is know what books have treated of it.â The statement above, surely refers
to the second kind of knowledge is about the art of finding materials.
The most prominent thing is finding the relevant materials by collecting not jus
t one but several of suggestion materials. In relation with the statement above,
there two fundamental truth of qualifying the materials, there are:
a.The data must be stored and classified in the same sort to avoid the complicat
ed handling.
b.The data must be programmed specifically and precisely, and it also must be pr
ogrammed by human being (not the system, no matter how sophisticated it is).
It can be concluded that the art of finding material is the most prominent thing
in literary research. And the art of the finding material is started by finding
the relevant materials and classify them in the same sort the program it specif
ically and precisely by our instinct as human being, because literary works is r
eflection of our life so it is possible to discuss it mechanically.
