We are all lazy. Some more, some less. It is said that a large number of inventions were created due to laziness. ProWe all want to make our lives as easy as possible. That's probably how it was with smileys, which have become an integral part of our written communication.

One day we stopped enjoying going out. We enjoyed interacting with people, but the effort just wasn't worth it anymore. nestHello. It was either too cold or too hot outside or something like that. It was simply better at home, so we didn't want to leave. But we missed communication. We were lonely. Then the kind-hearted programmers noticed. They were used to solitude, but they felt sorry for the others. They got to work and internet communication began to emerge. Prothe grammarians saw that it was good.

People loved it. They could write to others and share their news without having to go anywhere. The last thing was missing. Mailing and chatIt was groundbreaking, but it wasn't just that. It didn't have the right emotions like in a normal discussion. It was such a big problem that we almost started leaving the house again to communicate. But who else should have figured it out than a university professor? In 1982, the American Scott Fahlman sent this email to his colleagues: "I propose that the following sequence of characters indicate a joke: :-) Read it sideways." Smileys, or emoticons, were born and the last problem of Internet communication disappeared. Over time, the sequence of characters turned into real yellow faces. Today we take them for granted. It doesn't matter what age you are, everyone uses smileys. We love them and it's hard to imagine a world without them.

Anyone who doesn't write emoticons today is either incredibly unhappy or weird. So unless your life is in absolute ruins, write them. People will like you better.

But he took it to a completely different level AppleIn his iOS devices we can find 843 different emoticons. That's exactly 843 different nonsense, with which we can express not only our emotions, but also absolutely anything. Just activate them in the settings and you can send your girlfriend, for example, the face of a perverted moon. And that's definitely worth it.
