Emoticons

Emoticons have taken over everyday speech. Ever look at a text conversation with your friend and didn't see an emoticon? These little things have spread around the world, evolving into new forms. An example is how :l is turning into '_'. And hopefully, like the true evolving animals we are, we will evolve a different way of communicating feelings and emotions. And one day the emoticon will go extinct, like the floppy disk and the VHS tape before it.
