I choose to write about Camden's presentation, the history of emojis. I personally love using emojis in my text. I feel like it helps me emphasize what I mean in a text. People take texts and interpret them in so many different ways so I feel like when adding emoji it’s a visual face that someone could see how persuasive it is. Not always that is the case, though, but I definitely think about how I use them. I think it helps people, but sometimes there is confusion. As if someone could interpret the message with something that sarcastic if they added an emoji that might’ve not been sarcastic and it was more on a serious matter.
From this point in Camden's presentation, I feel like I gained a lot of knowledge about emojis that I was previously unaware of. Who created them at the time of their creation. One part of her presentation that truly stuck out was one that covered the early days of emojis, their development over time, their increased detail, and how they create emotion without sacrificing intelligence. With the first set of mobile phones with emojis was introduced in 1997. They were released with the IOS 5 software from Apple in 2011, so a few decades after the emojis were introduce. Apple was able to introduce the whole collection of emojis in the release of the new software.
Emojis could be used in text messages or simply as a new invention to help with a variety of tasks. According to an American computer scientist, who invented them in 1979, they were intended to be used to convey a message by depicting a happy or amusing face. It was primarily to just have an emotional context to a message for online purposes.
From listening, reflecting on the history of emojis I honestly didn’t really know much about them obviously I knew what they were but it’s just so cool to see on how creative we got over the years and how our world is just filled with emojis everywhere .
