I find texting to be one of the worst forms of communication for anything other than short Q&A type communication. Maybe writing letters is a lost art form, like in the past but this was out of necessity more than anything. Emoji's don't replace hearing of a person's voice or reactions to what a person is saying.

Text is too often misconstrued and again emoj's don't solve this problem. The fact that emoji speak even exists is really odd to me, but I guess thats an "ok boomer" for me.

Agreed. Text messages are great for very short immediate ping messages, like "I'm here" when I drove to pick someone up. But for anything that takes more than about 5 words, please send me an email instead.
