The way we telecommunicate has revolutionized our world in terms of relationships and interactions. What started in 7th grade when we first got our blue LG flip phones and typed out a simple “LOL” and “OMG ttyl” progressed into IMs consisting of physical smiley face emoticons instead of a :), has expanded into a wide array of emoticon options. Now, an app called Emoji has taken text conversations to a whole new language and ability to communicate in a pseudo face-to-face communication. Though there are hundreds of possible emojis to use to communicate feelings in a conversation, here are the best and most versatile 16:
