Despite the modern world becoming more and more digital, text is still paramount in communicating in every facet of life. Visualizations are increasingly taking the place of text because they are a more efficient and appealing way of displaying information. We can see how groups like Wordle and the New York Times use word clouds because they easily visually show the difference in words used when talking about one variable versus another, for example boys and girls. Interactive visualizations are also becoming increasingly popular, where viewers can not only see the visual but they can manipulate it to gain more specific information on a particular topic, which provides the viewer with an opportunity to gain more knowledge than before. Digital texts contain specific units of information that can be altered and shifted as desired through designed algorithms. There are also many different kinds of text files, some more complex than others. The continually expanding software and ideas in the realm of text analysis is always opening new doors for different applications, and we can see how the possibilities never seem limited.
