Summary | Using emojis can be tricky. Firstly, they do not look the same on all devices. This can lead to misunderstandings because we interpret a lot in other people's emoji use. Researchers also advise people to use few if any emojis in work-related communication. One should entirely abstain from using emojis when communication with a superior or employee. One should also be mindful of how often one changes the profile picture and what one's profile picture depicts.

Summary | The recent terrorist attacks at a christmas market in Berlin have prompted a flood of empathetic social media postings. It is questionable how empathetic people really are when they showcase their solidarity on social media, say psychologists. They may just be submitting to peer pressure and conforming to what appears to be the popular, appropriate reaction - namely posting on social media.

Summary | The human voice has become quite disenfranchised in this age where most communication happens in writing and emojis serve for emotional cues. Many people feel uncomfortable talking on the phone because it seems weird because we are no longer used to it. A new dating app called whispar encourages users to use their voice and enables them to upload voice recordings because they carry a lot of sexual/romantic force.
