Academia is dying, and in the process compulsively crushes the desires for learning, creating, teaching, cooperating it claimed to foster.

Эмодзи — это пока не очень понятная культура. Она неоднородна. С одной стороны, среди эмодзи встречаются те же смайлики, а с другой — есть и настоящие пиктограммы, то есть символы, которые вообще не принадлежат языку. Если в сообщении исключительно картинки, его уже нельзя назвать конкретной фразой. Оно передает некий общий смысл, который можно интерпретировать по-разному. Фактически это возвращение к дописьменной эпохе. Почему сейчас это модно, откуда взялась необходимость добавлять в коммуникацию иероглифы, пиктограммы и прочие дописьменные знаки — не очень понятно. Трудно сказать, что будет с эмодзи дальше. Сегодня они действительно популярны, потому что отчасти делают скучную речь более красочной, но в интернете и без них есть очень много способов компенсировать эмоции, которые приближают нормальную письменную речь к устной.

King Zhou waved his hands, and servants brought over a  clay pot and set it down on the small stone table before Fu Xi.  Later, Wang found out that it was a pot of seasoned broth. Fu  Xi sighed, lifted the pot, and drank in great gulps, the sound  of his swallows echoing like the beating of a giant heart in the  darkness. After he was halfway done with the contents, he  poured the rest over his body. Then he threw down the pot  and walked toward a large bronze cauldron suspended over a  fire in the corner of the Great Hall. He climbed onto the edge  of the cauldron and jumped in, stirring up a cloud of vapor.
