30 Jahre Emoticons :-)
Heute ist der 30. Geburtstag von Emoticons, yay! :-D Am 19. September 1982 um 11:44 Uhr schickte Scott Fahlman (Bild oben), ITler am Carnegie Mellon Uni diese Mail an seine Kollegen:
I propose the following character sequence for joke markers: :–), read it sideways. Actually, it is probably more economical to mark things that are NOT jokes, given current trends. For this, use :–(
Die Typo-Smileys lassen sich zwar bis zu einem Transkript einer Rede Lincolns und zu einem Satiremagazin im 19. Jahrhundert zurückverfolgen, die digitale Variante allerdings hat heute Geburtstag. Happy Birthday, :-)!
The aim was simple: to allow those who posted on the university’s bulletin board to distinguish between those attempting to write humorous emails and those who weren’t. Professor Fahlman had seen how simple jokes were often misunderstood and attempted to find a way around the problem.
This weekend, the professor, a computer science researcher who still works at the university, says he is amazed his smiley face took off: “This was a little bit of silliness that I tossed into a discussion about physics,” he says. “It was ten minutes of my life. I expected my note might amuse a few of my friends, and that would be the end of it.”
Happy 30th birthday emoticon! :-), Welt: Arschgeweih-Bruder in der ästhetischen Verbotszone: Viele finden Text-Smileys praktisch, andere nerven sie so wie Diddl-Mäuse, Arschgeweihe und Bauchnabelpiercings. Vor 30 Jahren hat uns ein US-Wissenschaftler das Emoticon eingebrockt.

Although it looks like a standard date stamp at first glance, the dials actually stamp out over 2000 different Japanese “kaomoji” (emoticons), face symbols popular to use in cellphone emailing.
Vintage Emoticon ;)
Irgendwann letztes Jahr hatte ich das Jubiläum des Smileys :-) verlinkt, der 25 Jahre alt wurde, oder so. Bullshit, Emoticons sind weit über 100 Jahre alt, sofern es sich beim Transskript einer Rede aus dem Jahr 1862 von Abraham Lincoln nicht um einen Tippfehler handelt. Alle Teenies dieser Welt können also beruhigt ausatmen: ZOMG! ROFL-Speech iz historic valuable!^^
A historical newspaper specialist at the digital archival company Proquest believes he has found an example of a sideways winking smiley face embedded in The New York Times transcript of an 1862 speech given by President Lincoln. Other historians are not so sure, saying the semicolon alongside a closed parenthesis is either a mistake or a misinterpretation of something that is perfectly grammatical for that era.
Emoticon mask will make you smile
The “Mask of Emotion”, a project from the Digital Media Design Dept at Hongik University in Korea, trades facial expressions for LED emoticons. The default setting is no expression, but if people shake hands with the wearer, the mask smiles. The project was designed to hide personal emotions by eliciting a different set of public facial expressions that could be used to generate conversation and response in public spaces.
