Summary | Since we're always stuck to our screens, have we lost our conversational skills? Nonsense. Many people complain that new technologies have killed "real life" communication, and that emojis are replacing words. The author of the article claims that this trend is not true; nowadays people communicate a lot. Fanny Auger, director of the School of Life Paris, noticed that her class "How to have better conversations" is very popular. The focus is on finding inspiring and stimulating exchanges.

Summary | Interview with Federica Diémoz at the University of Neuchâtel. She talks about a study related to the different expressions used in the Swiss French part of Switzerland. People also use their local expressions in text messages. The "What's up Switzerland" project is going to analyze WhatsApp messages. From what researchers have observed so far, people sometimes use regional expressions and don't always write the same way. They also add emoticons and images that replace words.
