This guy analyzed a year's worth of texts to his mom - and the results are touching
Sometimes a simple breakdown of the words we use, and their frequency, can tell us a lot about our own character, or about our relationship to another. And with the almost-infinite records that seem to be kept on our smartphones and in the cloud, analyzing that has become easier than ever.
Dadaviz's Ian T. Sommers has turned this microscope to his relationship with his mom, analyzing a year's worth of text messages they sent to each other between September 2014 and August 2015. The results highlight both their similarities and differences.
