Maybe we should reconsider the Egypt "emoticons" found in the pyramids... Alphabets around the world have been designed to create common platforms for communication and I think that the latin alphabet is one of the most advanced ones since you are able to express whatever you want with only 26 distinct characters. Putting that into emoticons might end up with something similar to Chinese or Japanese. Alternatively written speech could be customized to social groups with a common mindset. Within social groups topics and emotions are limited so that emoticons could optimise communication. But then the community of this blog might not grow as fast as it does today... (By the way: I do not like typing so much either. In my network oriented job the number of e-mails per day exceesd the number of phonecalls. But I think if we all really want to communicate something else than words has to be found) interesting to see written speech rise and fall.
