Yes, emojis have become a vital tool for communication.The emoji was first invented in Japan in the late 1990s and the word "emoji" comes from the Japanese words for "picture" and "character". The number of different images has dramatically increased since then and now we have a picture for every mood or situation.So now we are giving this new creation the visual "thumbs-up" but have you thought why we've become so addicted to using emojis? Professor Vyv Evans has written a book called The Emoji Code, saying "increasingly, what we're finding is that digital communication is taking over certain aspects of face-to-face interaction.one of the reasons why emojis are so popular is that they really do enable us to express our emotional selves more effectively."Another advantage of emojis is that they are an international language they don't use words but some pictures so they can be easily interpreted whatever your native language is. However, the emojis can sometimes be misinterpreted if a friend sends you an emoji of a hammer, you may think he/she is angry when really he/she is saying he/she is clumsy!Emojis are a good way for showing similar feelings. But as linguist语言学家Neil Cohn says, "To many, emojis are an exciting evolution of the way we communicate, but to others, they are a linguistic Armageddon大决战."
