TED = Technology, Entertainment, Design. I think this goes under Entertainment.. and somewhat Design.. and somewhat Technology.. So I think this is the perfect place to be on TED.

I've been thinking what the ending line means. I guess i made two possibilities 1. The girl doesn't have to write down the details of their meeting because she remembers it or 2. She rejected him. I really wanted to know the meaning of this story please help. Thnx : ) Very Creative indeed!

I think the overall point of it at the end was to demonstrate really, how un-emotive emoticons are. You cannot illustrate that feeling of rejection through an emoticon. He told the whole story using the text pictures but when it came down to that last line, there is no emoticon in the world that can really express that horrible pit feeling in your stomach of rejection really. That is my take on it anyways.

Oh. My. God. Emotions are feelings you have. These are EMOTICONS which are symbols that make faces or symbols to express EMOTIONS which is why they are called EMOTICONS because they are ICONS.

Thank you for explaining; not being a native english speaker I wasn't sure myself, although I had made a fair guess about the happy ending. Anyway if one wasn't that sure about it being a happy ending story, it could also be she's just acting purposefully arrogant and cold-hearted when rejecting the guy (yeah I prefer dramas lol jk)

Some of you people here think that you're being sarcastic by saying this is inspiring, but you're missing the point. It's TED. It's about ideas not about inspiring your lazy asses. This fella just illustrated the elaborate vocabulary of the emoticon language; he managed to present to us the state of our society in a creative manner all in 3 mins. Bravo.

@jesstern Even though the story doesn't stand up by itself because of some incorrect depictions & he explained so much that wasn't shown in text (but could have been), so even if we understood the depictions, we wouldn't get the story? Maybe I'm just not getting the point, but as interesting as this video could have been, even when letting my imagination go wild, I don't see any point of worth in this video. Do note I just randomly came accross this video and thus know of no context for this.

Why fear it? Language has always been changing throughout history, what reason is there for us to fear it now? At one point or another the idea of writing ANYTHING was foreign and unwelcome. Writing and typing like this could simply be the next step to it's evolution or it may not, either there's no reason to really reject it :)

Well it is easy for you. There is the reason why English is the International Language. But it comes with the exception of Chinese language because Chinese is living among of the Earth as Chinese is possible to second International Language. And you suggest we should communicate via writting and typing. Should you go outside more a bit?
