These emojis have been very popular and now that there are new ones it is like a circus for all the iPhone owners. The screen looks different, there are options for the color of the people on your emoji board, there are even new emojis to choose from! Imagine being a scientist in an environment they have been to so many times. While researching you find a new animal species! That is what this update is like. We use the emoji keyboard every single day and we know where each one is. I knew where the hearts were, I knew where the animal were, and were the plants were. With this new update I find the new "species" of emojis hiding in the corners of my keyboard. The moment I clicked on my emoji keyboard and saw my new discovery my face lit up with interest and joy. I couldn't wait to swipe to the next part so I could see what was new; what was different.
What is the importance behind this update? Well to be honest this is only a minor event but the excitement it brings isn't minor. As a teenager piled with school work, tests, a job, and let's not forget our extracurricular activities, small distractions aren't very small. This little distraction took minds off of the mind boggling radians in math and entertained it with new emojis in the iOS 8.3 update. In the end, the recent iOS update took our minds off of the stress we contain and put it on emojis instead so maybe we can have enjoyment and relax for a couple minutes.
Nice job! I thought that this was a cool topic to choose with it being current and interesting. I loved how you explained that exploring the new emojis is like a scientist finding a new species of animal. Also, I enjoyed your anecdote about how you use the emojis to express your feelings to whomever necessary. I really like how the new emojis have a wider range of colors that make them more diverse and more applicable to ever iPhone user. Lastly, these small things do help us to relax and find interest in our busy lives. 💁
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! Right from the beginning, I knew I was going to be able to relate to your blog. I loved how you compared the learning process of emojis to a scientist discovering a new species; that was very clever and creative. I also liked how you gave your own personal experiences to using emojis to better explain your point that emojis are used to show how one feels. Your voice radiated throughout your whole blog and I thought it was very effective for you so that you were able to connect to your audience. Many people are able to relate to this because those who have iPhones, use emojis all the time. Emojis, like you pointed out, help to express how we feel or show our feelings throw a tiny picture. I think the update was a great idea because a lot of people have asked why there is only one race or color for the emojis. Now, for most of the emojis concerning people, there are more races to choose from. I think you've made an excellent point when saying that these emojis have helped take our minds into a new world filled with new emojis. They have allowed us to be more entertained when texting someone. It's almost as though they have acted like a stress reliever. Overall, I enjoyed reading your blog post and couldn't agree more with what you have mentioned about the journey of exploring new emojis. It's been really amusing finding out all of the new updates.
