For this blog post, think of your own use of emoji (or if you're anti-emoji, think of how you've seen it used) and talk about the ways emoji has helped you (or others communicating with you) better express yourself/themselves. Pick a favorite emoji, or one you use/see used most often in your text conversations. Describe it--what does it represent? How does it get used (by you and others)? What (if anything) would be lost from the conversation without use of these emoji?

The more technology expands the easier it is to communicate. It went from telephones, pager, cell phones, text messages, and something as simple as an emoji. My favorite emoji is the “ laugh out loud”or “ “ emoji. The crying emoji would be my favorite because it could have so many different meanings; for example, I could use the crying emoji if something is actually funny, sarcastic, or even sadness and grief. Without this emoji the conversation would be dull, it brings emotion to the conversation.
