History of emoticons
first drawings like emoticons were found among the writings of the ancient China.In the modern world in 1969 Nabokov suggested that it would be great to come up with an icon indicating in writing a smile.And only in 1982, Fahlman, who was an American scientist, suffered this idea on paper.He proposed to use to refer to humorous messages specific pattern ":-)" (meaning smile).He appeared to light long before the invention, a cell phone and gaining worldwide popularity of the Internet.Subsequently a list of icons, emoticons expanded considerably.In principle, it extends to the present day.Today, if you got that smile to a stranger, the value it very easy to find on the Internet.
