Emoticons

Emotion Icons have taken over our technological life. Through instant messages, texts, or email, we are able to express ourselves with these little symbols. Emotion icons have been highly developed since their start. I personally like to use the original emoticons because you don't quite see the face when you first look at it:

(^_^) smile

(^o^) laughing out loud

(z_z) sleeping person

(^_~) winking

v(^_^)v peace 

(o_0) surprised

\(^_^)/ cheers! 

t(o_ot) giving someone the bird



of course, these didn't stick around long, they evolved into:

= ) happy

= ( sad

: ) smile

: o surprise

: < defeated



Now we have actual faces:
