1963 the American fine artist Harvey Bell first time draw graphic sketch of smile look like two dots and curve in yellow circle.
1969 Vladimir Nabokov mention at one of his interviews, it is worth to be created special sign for punctuation for graphical wording of emotions: ” I often think there should exist a special typographical sign for a smile — some sort of concave mark, a supine round bracket, which I would now like to trace in reply to your question”
The using of textual communication as release an inhibitions. as alienate.. Online it's easy to write about feelings and emotions. because we have not real closeness of an interlocutor (that’s more easy for us). but we can writing express them hard. We use. different mixes of typographic symbols like dots, comas, dashes. The man created the first emoticon is Scott Elliott Fahlman: „I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers: :-)
Read it sideways. Actually, it is probably more economical to mark things that are NOT jokes, given current trends. For this, use :-(”
In this way our emotions became sign – little yellow faces, smiling, crying, putting out tongues. They became a virtual mark of our need for emotion in every day communication via internet and helped us to preserve our real emotions.
