Do you know what that means? Hopefully you
do. But if you don’t, I’ll tell you at the end. Regardless, emoji’s are taking
over the world, in a kind of insane way. What started out as simple pictures to
lighten up your messages has now turned into a multi-million-dollar industry.
No keyboard is complete without its own set of emoji’s. Emoji’s are so popular,
that even celebrities like Kim Kardashians have their own. They’ve become so
universally accepted, that we can basically communicate through these little
pictures.
However, just like anything, sometimes,
people can get a little too sensitive and out of control. Emoji’s have become
so influential, that currently, the New York Police Department are trying to
determine if sending a gun and bomb emoji is a threat to society. Furthermore,
last year, there was a big call for organizations to create emoji’s that were
more culturally diverse. As a person from a South East Asian background, I
personally would not care less if emoji’s just had one colour; they’re
literally a tiny picture on your phone. But as always, some people out there
are always willing to pick on the little details.
Emoji’s has become such a major thing that
there is actually an Emoji movie in the works! I’d love to see how that works
out. Hopefully it won’t be a major downfall, like as if it was raining cats and
dogs… get it? (That’s what the emoji’s stood for… Am I still punny?)
