Hate Emoji’s? Get over it, They’re the Future of your Communication

I’m fascinated and hooked

I am a grown man — I shouldn’t be fascinated by seeing a Little animal copying my expressions or singing in my voice. I should be ashamed to admit it — I spent the majority of the weekend exploring what was possible between me and my new animated animal friends — but i’m not.

It fascinated me in two ways

Expression and empathy

Much of the technological development that has occurred to now has centred around text communication. That is true whether you look at Facebook, Text message or Websites. For the first time, when I was interacting with this character I felt like I could decipher feeling. I could read emotion and connect with a digital emoji on a level that I haven’t with friends and family previously online. Honestly, in many way, it feels like this is what I’ve been waiting for.

Perhaps the most significant development of web 3.0 won’t be the decentralisation of everything, it will be the interpretation of human emotion within non-human projections.
