I chose to do my linking assignment on a post from Mike McDowall. He wrote one of his speculative stories on emojis being the global language in the year 2050. I appreciate his post as I thought it was a bold idea to imagine emojis being the only language in the world 30 years from now. He even introduced the idea of having slangs and different usages for emojis. In my own personal use of emojis, the most I would use is the “ok” sign or “thumbs up” sign. I think I would be one of the first groups of people to protest against UN converting all languages to emojis. So I was relieved when Mike wrote that UN had voted to revert back to using languages of the world. I like how Mike integrated photos, symbols (ie. emojis), texts and audio in his two stories. In my own post about speculative narratives, I also included emojis for the titles and photos to capture the main idea in my stories. I did not use the emojis as extensive as Mike as I am not familiar with the tool. I was hesitant to add more emojis in my post because I was unsure whether readers would understand my thought.
