Most people use technology every single day. People communicate using technology by not only using words but emojis, too. Emojis are real images and symbols that can be sent and shared using technology. Emojis are the best idea ever! That is because emojis are an important way that people communicate with each other. Emojis were created in the late 1990s by Shigetaka Kurita in Japan. The way that inspired him was that weather forecasts use symbols to help show the weather for the day. Kurita created a set of 180 emojis based on the faces people were making and everyday objects. Emojis are essential because they help to add emotions to messages shared with text. Since typed words do not show emotions, emojis were created to help add feelings to emotionless text. Amazingly, in 2015, the Word of the Year was emoji. The emoji ‘Face with Tears of Joy' was chosen because it was the most used emoji in 2015. There is no doubt that emojis are an excellent form of communication, and that is something to smile about.

C.

Dr. Richard Turner said that conflict about cellphone use is becoming a common problem in families. These kids grew up with cellphones.
