This is a
hotly debated topic these days because of the impact of more and more instant
communication. From my perspective, the heart of the matter is why the language
is as relevant as it is thought.
First of
all, a little philosophy. What makes us humans is precisely our ability to talk
and think, what is more, the reasoning can’t be made without words. However,
many people claim that the strength of images and media is to be considered.
Nowadays
this point of view is totally appreciable, due to apps like “WhatsApp” which
promotes audio and gifs instead of written words. The consequence is the
increase in the number of young people who seem to have forgotten how to
express their own ideas. And this is logical, in an unconscientious way, we
tend to simplify and make our conversations faster.
Personally,
I understand the utility of emojis, in fact, I use them. Nevertheless, they
mustn’t be used as the common languages, because they limit our expressions and
thoughts which are absolutely more complicated than a dozen small symbols.
