Summary | There is a lot of ways in which one can write "I love you" in a text message and all of them mean something slightly different. Punctiation can transform the whole tone of the statement. Abbreviation of the three infamous words can make it less serious - which can be a good or a bad thing depending on context. Emojis are complicated and ambiguous.

Summary | Emojis have gotten a lot more socially inclusive lately, representing several shades of skin and hair color, mixing up male and female stereotypes by for instance featuring a prince emoji and a policewoman emoji, as well as adding a gender-non-conforming emoji, and an emoji wearing a hijab. One group however still feels left out and is very vocal in their demand for an emoji that represents them: red-haired people. A petition has been signed by several throusand people but it is not likely that there will be another update to the emoji collection soon.

Summary | Dystopias are being written about what is going to happen to society in the age of increasing digitalization of life. Predictions include that we will lose the ability to read and write because we will be able to do everything through voice command. We can already order piza at Domino's by using emojis only. The new literacy culture is limited to 140 characters and resembles in fact more an oral culture in which the truth is what is screamed the loudest.

Summary | Emojis have become ubiquitous in text messaging - one can hardly imagine life without them. Some even try to text with emojis only but because that can be a quite difficult task, there is now a book teaching readers 'How to Speak Emoji' so that we can all use the same emojis to mean the same ambiguous things.

Summary | The iPhone has many features that you may not know about. You can create shortcuts to type your favorite emojis rather than search them manually on the keyboard. With a simple touch of the home button you can reorganize your screen so that when using your iPhone one-handedly even smaller hands can reach all content that would usually be at the top of the display.You can have Siri acoustically announce who is calling. To improve your selfies you can use the volume button on your headphones to take a picture from afar. Also, to avoid anxiety from lots of app notifications you can just deactivate those.

(Building pictures out of emojis)

Topic Tags | emojis
Summary | On emoji.ink users can build their own emojis, or rather, build pictures or scenes out of a large collection of emojis. A lot of fun can be had with this: one can design mosters with several heads or a scene of a penguin looking at a traffic sign. The creations can be saved and used later on. We have come quite far since the days of having to build a smiley emoticon out of three or more punctuation signs.
