textOutput with interactions

Suppose you work for a sleep clinic in America. In your efforts to ascertain the sleep hygiene of Americans, you carried out a survey. Now that you have data, you would like to report your findings.

Instead of submitting a static report, you decide that an interactive application will be more engaging for your audience.

Suppose you would first like your user to input her city of residence as part of the user experience. This should be done in such a way that the text output will be updated based on what the user enters.

To this end, you will work with the textInput() function.
