Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Psychic
software? How a small social media company predicted Donald Trump's victory
Do you
always answer poll questions as honestly as your comments on social media? Most
people write their opinions or feelings from their heart on social media
because they want to express them. But they don’t always express their true
emotion or thoughts on politics when they are asked because they are asked.
That’s
what seems to have happened in the last US presidential election. Many answered
more favorably to one candidate than they really think of her. That’s because
they might have not wanted to be looked as a supporter of the other radical
candidate. But some of them didn’t seem to have voted for the candidate they said
they would.
Analyzing
social media traffic is a new way to find recent trend, rising problems and
potential moves. Combining with Ai and polls, a South African company was able
to predict the US election result. They did the same for the UK referendum for Brexit.
Enjoy
reading and thinking if you would vote on emotion or by reason.
