1. A computer-implemented method of sending a text message from a user of a user device to a second user, the method comprising:
- displaying text message input from the user of the user device;
determining eye-tracking data from the user, wherein the eye-tracking data is associated-with a portion of the text message;
determining an information related to the portion of the text message, wherein the information is determined based on at least one of a meaning or a context of the portion of the text message, and wherein the information comprises a context-data type relevant to the meaning of the portion;
automatically and dynamically creating a linkage between the information related to the portion of the text message and the portion of the text message when the eye-tracking data exceeds a specified threshold, wherein the portion of the text message is modified to indicate the linkage; and
sending, the text message to the second user, wherein the text message comprises the information related to the portion of the text message and the portion of the text message.
