Summary | Nowadays, people don't take the time to "think" and go from one emotion to another very quickly, especially on social media. For instance, Facebook introduced its "reaction" buttons. Today, it seems that a laughing emoji is worth a long speech. Facebook can also gather its users' personal information thanks to the reaction buttons. Our communication is now based on emotions, which can be dangerous.

Apple va remplacer l'emoji revolver par un pistolet à eau
(Apple is going to replace the gun emoji with a squirt gun)

Topic Tags | emojis, misunderstanding, threat
Summary | Apple decided to get rid of its gun emoji because authorities thought it was difficult to interpret this new form of communication. With this decision, Apple takes a stand in the U.S. gun debate. The expansion of emojis in the world reminds us of the idiom "a picture is worth a thousand words". The emoji trend can also lead to problems; sending a bomb emoji or gun emoji to someone can be perceived as a threat and people can be arrested for that.

Summary | The emoji phenomenon is global and growing very fast. Those smiley faces are everywhere and have invaded our lives. They are not just used to express our emotions alone, they also replace them. Yes, emojis are young and fun, but they are also a way to “disempower” human relationships and to be emotionally correct.
