| This isn't ancient Egypt, or MessoAmerica, or any of the other places on the planet that invented/used symbology/ pictogram/hieroglyphs to communicate. It makes communication MORE difficult and LESS clear.
Text communication is a direct conversion(translation) of speech. You don't say: "left arrow-jump-levitate-smiley face" You do however say: "I'm jumping for joy" But consider the other possible meanings: "Gravity is lower over there. Wee. This is fun" "Did you see jump back there? WooHoo!" "In the past I would practice yoga and meditation. I liked it." ...
and i could go on.
Because say it with me: A picture is worth a thousand words. Which of those thousand words depends on the individual decoding/defining/interpreting the message. If you find you are unable to convey a clear, concise, unambiguous message using text; you need to read more and perhaps go back to school. |
