A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS
1.1. ____
Do you often use those small, face-like icons in your messages? Can you imagine that one of
them, a face with tears of joy, was chosen as the Word of the Year in 2015? That’s surprising
because it’s a picture, rather than a word. There are no plans to include the icon in any
dictionaries yet, but it is one of the most widely used images on the Internet.
1.2. ____
This icon is an emoji and it was created by a Japanese communications company in the late
1990s. The name was inspired by two Japanese words: 'e' and 'moji', which can be translated into
English as “pictograph”. Emojis are images of things such as faces, weather, and activities,
which include emotions. This means that some emojis are also emoticons.
1.3. ____
In the near future, numbers used as banking passwords might be replaced with pictures of faces,
animals, fruit, etc. They will be easier to memorise because people have this extraordinary
ability to remember pictures. The new passwords will make online banking safer because easy-to-guess pin numbers, such as birthdays, won’t be used anymore.
