Speaking of emojis....

I’m a fan of dum phones. Smart phones are just way too much phone for me.

My sibling was texting me, and at the end there was a big long string of question marks. It appeared as though what I had last said was not understood.

I wrote back and asked what was not clear.

After some testy and finally creative backing and forthing, we finally established that what had been meant by the series of ????????? was actually heart emojis which my little dumster phone couldn’t read!

From now on, even if one day I get a smart(er) phone which has emojis, we will continue to use the ??????? for hearts.

I have a smart phone because I have to keep up with the tech for work.

Smart phones will never replace a laptop (I’m spoiled, HP Z-book via work). Maybe I’m an old fart but it just doesn’t translate well. Spoiled and old.

Yeah, as technology explodes standardization seems to suffer. Happily the young kids understand it all! 😁 I still stay with my flip-phone.
