You know what the opposite of better is? That's right, worse.Emoticons don't make our ability to communicate better, they make it easier in the short term but these things don't exactly suggest their own disuse.It's like nicotine. Inhaling it once isn't that problematic, but (as with emoticons) our use/abuse of these things tends to increase over time.Our autonomy is being whittled away in ways that are very hard to consciously change, but not in this instance.Of you disagree, get in touch, you'll get me on
