EMOJIS READING BONUS! If you’ve ever sent a message, been on social media, or even went to the movies you’ve probably seen and used an emoji before. An emoji is a small picture that can be added to text to convey a specific meaning. However, there’s a lot more to emojis than you might think. Emojis started in the 1990s as a way to enhance e-mails and other messages. In a message that you are writing, it can sometimes be difficult to show exactly what tone or feeling you want to share with that text. Emojis offer a way to make your meaning clearer. For example, if you are being sarcastic and saying “Right, that always happens” the person you are sending the message to might actually think that what you’re talking about always happens. If you add a laughing emoji or an lol, your tone would be much clearer. For this reason, many cyber psychologists think that emojis deserve more study and research. That’s right! You could go onto study emojis and how people use them as a full-time job! These psychologists argue that digital communication is the next major wave in human communication and that emojis help us replace the in-person aspects of communication. Dr. Albert Mehrabian, for example, discovered that “Only 7% of effective, personal communication is spoken words.” Basically, this means that it isn’t just the words you say it is how you say them. If a classmate comes up to you and says with a smile, “Nice shirt,” you will know that they are being kind and giving a compliment. However, if a classmate comes up to you and says, “Nice shirt,” sarcastically and then walks away laughing, you’ll feel the complete opposite, knowing that they are being mean. In this situation and so many others, what was said is only a small part of the conversation. How it is said, matters just as much. Scientists, linguists and psychologists would argue emojis need more studies because they affect how we say and communicate the thoughts in our mind. They argue that emojis are essential to how we communicate in the 21st century and are understood. Because emojis are so important, Unicode takes great care in deciding which emojis will be added to our standard set each year. They try to make sure that there are many different cultures, faiths, and genders included. For example, each profession shows men and women as well as many different races doing those jobs (often times, six different ways that that emoji can appear). It shows women wearing hijabs to represent Muslims, foods that are more common in other countries like the falafel. Like them or wish we could go back to the old days, emojis are here to stay! Maybe you can be the next, great emoji linguist!
