instead of using our precious time to
type words and saving us time to do
other things.

animals to use to show what we are
talking about instead of describing it
in words.

communication.

12. How emojis came to thought !
As the 20th century drew to a close,
Japanese mobile-phone companies
were under increasing pressure to
support Japanese users’ obsession
with images. They noticed a trend
where a lot of picture messages were
being exchanged by their Japanese
clients. So instead of ignoring this,
these Japanese mobile-phone
companies actually gave their users
more of what they wanted. : )!
