Emojis(表情符号)
Have you found that more and more people are using emojis to communicate online? For example, "Happy Birthday" has become a cake with lit candles. And "I am happy" has become a smiling face.
Emojis have been warmly welcomed since they were invented in the 1990s in Japan. According to a survey of a mobile technology company, 6 billion emojis are used in text messages around the world every day. Last year, 20 percent of all emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the US was the icon . It became the most widely﹣used icon in 2015.
Emojis are now used as "a new form of expression", and one which can cross language barriers(障碍). "Emojis are popular among millennials, who were born between late 1980s and early 2000s, because they welcome new technology and new things and they think emojis are ‘flexible(灵活的)and show meanings beautifully'", president of Oxford Dictionaries told The Wall Street Joural.
Since millennials became the biggest part in the American workforce(劳动力), emojis have been more accepted in the workplace. For many people, the tiny pictures also show that the users are part of mainstream(主流) society. In the digital age, emojis are "how most people communicate and show their personality many times every day."
But not everyone thinks the use of emojis is a good thing. Jonathan Jones of The Guardian said that the success of emojis is "a step back for humans", hurting people's ability to use languages.
"There are strict limits on what you can say with pictures﹣the written word is necessary to express your ideas and feelings to their highest level," he said.

"Pictogram" is a compound word made from "picture" and "telegram". Pictograms are usually simple pictures, and they are often made with letters and words. A pictogram is a symbol which represents an idea or an object through an image (图像). Also, it is a kind of communication system which must be learned but is very useful in our lives. The user must learn to see, understand and remember the different pictogram symbols. There are about l, 400 different symbols at the present time.

A Canadian named Subhas Maharaj came up with the idea for pictograms in the beginning of the 1980s. At first, pictograms were introduced to help people who had disabilities in speaking, reading, or writing. Pictograms are images of objects that are easy to see and create. Today, pictograms are used in many different ways. FOR example, there are traffic, recycling and restaurant signs, even animal symbols and so on.
Pictograms are usually in white against a black background. The combination of white against a black background creates extremely contrast (对比) , and this makes pictograms friendlier to users.
