The "Smiley Face" Emoticon Turns 25 Today...will it stand the test of time?

Belated happy birthday to Smiley :-) then. I have always liked smiley ever since I was in high school. Today it has even more popularized by internet like yahoo messenger and other messengers and even on the SMS it is very, very uselful. There's even a collection of them now. I'm not a good analyst in anything but I do hope for Smiley longer existence as it has brighten many a man's days. Sometimes I don't get a long letter from my boyfriend but if it contains a smiley, it's more than enough to make my day happy. It's just a little thing but little things mean a lot.

Hello houndsgood, I never really known who invented or who started the smiley face in messages such as letters, note, text, etc.. Well, thanks to him we have such icons that we used to express what we feel after a certain sentence or note. Eversince I have started using the computer for internet surfing, email and chatting I have always used the smiley face emoticon. This emoticons are really very useful to people specially when sending messages with people your corresponding with. You can express how you feel by putting in certain types of emoticons on your text. I think its become a habit for most of us to use it often times. I don't think smiley will become a nostalgic mark of the past. For one even young kids today starting to use the computer for chatting or mobile phones for text messaging are using smileys. It has made it mark in history and people will still go on using it in the future. I think it will only continue to improve and people will just think of other things to add to it.
