Summary | Emoticons are everywhere: in messages, statuses, and emails. They are supposed to indicate emotions and add nuance when something is funny or sarcastic. Humorous texts should need a flag to alert readers of their jocular intent. Communicating emotions through emojis shows either an inability to communicate complex feelings in writing or unwillingness thereof.

Summary | The author talks about her experiences at home; she created a dinner schedule so that her kids would notify her of whether or not they would be home for dinner. But the kids would never notify her in advance; they would text her at 19:00 saying they would not come home. Thus, one of the kids created a WhatsApp group for the family. It's fun! There are "ribs emojis" and "spaghetti emojis". They laugh a lot on WhatsApp, so she doesn't even realize that she is eating dinner by herself.

Summary | Emojis are frequently incorporated in text messages and are slightly addictive. Christa Dürscheid from ‘What’s Up, Switzerland?’ says that they are a must-have for ‘insiders' . Even older users are getting used to emojis since there is such a huge selection from which to choose. Emojis do however not replace written communication but serve to indicate emotions or add emphasis.
