Nowadays, emoji are an integral part of everyday communication. It doesn’t matter if you’re old or young, most of us are confronted with them. They are definitely not a new invention, they just look new and have a modern design. Emojis tell us stories and help us to communicate. Some say that the drawings of the cave dwellers painted the first stories on the walls and the hieroglyphs of the ancient Egyptians did the same. You could say that it is simply the adaptation to modern technology. Emojis are the cave paintings on the mobile phone and sometimes they are as cryptic as the hieroglyphs of the Egyptians. It’s a silent form of communication that works perfectly in the world of smartphones.
But why is 17th July World Emoji Day? Check your calendar emoji on your phone. Most phones show on the icon the 17th July. But why is this date on the emoji? For me, it looks just like a random date.
