If distance makes the heart grow fonder, then travel makes the tweeter happier, according to a study conducted the University of Vermont.
Writes the MIT Technology Review:
None
None
None
What was most interesting by far was that the further someone was from these places, the more likely they were to use positive words (and type out laughter, like "haha") than they were to use negatives such as "no," "don't" and "hate."
Of course, saying you're happy isn't the same as actually being happy, the researchers found, but the analysis sure provides a window into the human psyche, as MIT put it.
