A person is not always able to express his emotions through the usual words, sometimes even the most beautiful phrases do not reflect the essence of the conversation. And then the thread of the conversation is lost, because the interlocutor, who is on the other side of the screen, is not a telepath and cannot read thoughts.Online correspondence is a special type of a conversation in which emotions and the ability to express them play an important role, just like in a personal meeting. The opponent cannot see facial expressions, hands’ movements, cannot hear the surprised or questioning intonations. That’s when emoticons become useful.
Adding emoji to the correspondence, people can tell more about themselves than they intended – this conclusion was made by American scientists.
