I definitely appreciate the argument that more emotional context is the future of digital communication. I just wonder if emoticons are really the solution to it.
I'd like to think something more akin to snapchat, where someone can send a quick temporary picture of themself smiling, frowning, etc is a much more mature/natural/sensible (not sure the appropriate word for it...) method of conveying the same emotional information.
I totally agree with you - I don't think it's specifically emoticons that are the future. Snapchat is definitely a perfect example of the direction we are going in (picture + text).
