Computational text for me is an absolute essential. As a historian it is something that would lessen the work load a lot I feel. The manual era seems impractical to a person who grew up in the digital era, even things as simple as looking for  book without a catalog, let alone research. One unsung plus of digitalization is the universal factor. Previous to these discoveries we would have to go to an area if wanting to read about it, now its a click away vs being an ocean away. This unites the world, we can only progress in time if we know to not make mistakes made before, and not only our own countries’ mistakes but other parts of the world included, with different point of views. Losing point of view can give historians a lack of full truth in research, the full picture will not yet be obtained. The time efficiency that comes with this tool is a huge game changer. Computers are obviously way faster when it comes to these things vs a manual research setting. You get to overlook thousands of of documents at one time while using this system. You have the option to access the more relevant source to you because of the sorting system by word relevancy. The text analysis makes it so you only see documents that have the most repetitive  pattern of the topic of your choice.  The documents with the most common words show up first, so you aren’t wasting time reading things that are of little relevance to you. I have spent hours reading through long articles just to know my topic search was only mentioned once in the whole paper, and the articles focus is no where near what I actually need. I can see how this will assist you in finding articles that overlap and agree with each other. Not only articles that agree but articles who carry the same load of the topic. The mining dispatch shows us the hands on benefits computational text analysis can have. Advertisements seeking enslaved peoples for labor was the source specialized here. Having a graph as a visual representation is the most helpful tool any researcher could ask for. The graph is  what shows us what words show up the most in both topics . Imagine a human trying to recreate this skill, going thru with annotations of word count would be a redundant and un time savvy task.  I cant imagine how many significant parts of history has been slept on because people did not have the same access to readings and mails and documents like we do now. Biased opinions, research that lacks the full picture, incorrect data. In all entirety computation text analytics was the best thing to happen to us historians. Weather that be talking about a time issue or comfort issue. When being the least stressed is when we can write at the most quality, the avoidance of frying your brain is what this gives you, setting you up for success.
