It had to happen.
We invented phones to talk to people outside of our immediate presence.
We took up IM and texting so we didn’t have to actually use a phone to talk to someone, as that takes SO much time.
We used simple, still-life emojis to convey feelings, ‘cuz a picture is worth a thousand words.
These fine folks have given us the next step in our march towards non-verbal communication excellence. We can now use talking emojis to talk in short phrases for us, so we don’t need to actually “text”. We can probably create emojis with entire sentences on various topics. Stock comments, opinions, exclamations, rebuttals. We can string together emojis into multiple-emoji/sentence constructs; what used to be called “conversations”.
And change the phone back into a verbal communications tool.... just with our voices disguised!
And whatever is next on this path, I am looking
forward to what will be next.
This will be a fun group to follow.
