I find it quite entertaining that in ancient times people communicated in hieroglyphics, which then evolved into writing, and now we’ve technically reverted back to hieroglyphics (as seen in the case of smileys used by avid instant messaging internauts, text messaging and other graphical abbreviations).

Almost like a life-long friend who has been with us through everything. Besides comforting though, it is of course also quite strange.

Who really is that person behind those words?
