This Ted Talk Literally Summarised My Essay (ᇂ_Jᇂ)



  • He discusses really interesting points and brings out very interesting insight into emojis and the current evolution of language. As well as its relevance to the current age of social media and the digital platform. As well as linking it over to semiotics in a way that is digestible and easy to understand
  • A point he made is that language nowadays circles back to the caveman times, where we use imagery and drawings to make sense of the world. The reference he made was to the largely used emojis and emoticons in texting. He referred the 'new cave' being our screens (phone and computer screens)
  • He was saying that with these signs, humans can't read it but understand by extracting feeling from it. It is an interesting view on how people obtain and process information based on visuals.
