In a digital, internet-driven world, speed and convenience trump all. That rule holds especially true for online communication. Today, there are an abundance of ways in which we can reach out and contact someone through the internet. Whether it’s a simple SMS text message, tagging a friend in a tweet, or the classic Facebook ‘poke’ (do people still do this?), the ways in which we communicate have become simplified—and at the same time—more sophisticated.
There is an interesting phenomenon taking place today. It wasn’t too long ago when parents and school teachers were worried that ‘text-speak’ was ruining the English language, creating a generation of socially inept illiterates. Today, that concern is shifting over to none other than “emojis”. A sort of digital hieroglyphics, emojis succinctly (yet maybe not always accurately) communicates a user’s emotion, idea, or thought as a picture icon.
