When was your first encounter with emoji?
human beings started to use it since the stone ages and they are found in ancient hieroglyphs, well mine was back in 2000’ while yahoo messenger was taking over the world!
At that time the emoji has a special place in silent conversation. You have to reach a certain level of intimacy to send a <3 or a wink,
People took the social ethic to the online version of communication.
The highest level of emoji was a buzz button .although it wasn’t an emoji by nature but it topped them all.
Which I think is being missed nowadays!
I remember the first time I received a heart emoji and it felt real. Just only a tiny little red heart emoji could bring heartbeat and blush to any 13-year-old cheeks.
As a senior user of social media, I can tell, in absence of body language, tone and stress, we faced some major miss communications, and there is the right place for emojis to save us all.
They are not only be used to clarify and spice up the conversation, even use to save asses
Like you idiotly say something you shouldn’t and there is no way to take it back, and that’s the exact moment a 😂or 😉 or 😝 could save you from a disaster
Back to now, as we repeatedly hear, because of social media the world is getting small and smaller
Not only the family or friendly communication but also the B to and B to B communication, especially after Covid is ruling the world, is getting less formal day by day.
Considering all the above, in order to make an efficient, fast and clear communication, it is suggested by the author, to cross the capping boundaries and start using emoji whenever it’s needed and let it be friendly and fun at the same time.
