They don’t need emojis, they need to spend time with people they enjoy spending time with. Spending more time on a phone isn’t going to do that. Another very strange sentence.
I mostly use words instead of emojis, because I find words are less ambiguous. I have little interest in trying to learn the double meanings behind the over 3,500 emojis that now exist, and hoping whoever I send them to has done similar research with similar interpretations.
My team recently wrote our mission statement and all our 2024 OKRs using only emojis instead of words. We work at The Onion but still had people confusing eggplant with okras. ;•)
