text. this is all just one big sin and i must go to confessional goodbye

[edwinjarvis]

Who: Jarvis and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: N/A (unless you have an idea for something!!)
When: Now-ish. Before everything goes horribly later for us all.

Oh, I've finally figured this whole texting thing out; quite an incredible thing, electronic writing! ヽ(´▽`)/

I do miss the smell of fresh paper and the way ink settles on paper as you write, but I cannot deny this is positively enjoyable.

Look at what a young gentleman from the last waystation had shown me. They are all the craze in Japan, I've been told! o(^▽^)o

The idea is using symbols to create faces. (♥o♥)

A means of conveying emotion without relying solely on punctuation or italics or what have you. 

I feel so very old already, and I'm not even 40!! ⊙﹏⊙ I suppose I'll be very old myself when these things finally start to evolve.

ヾ(・ω・*)ノ Please tell me, from those in later years, what sort of changes to writing has happened since the 1940's? The progress is so very impressive.

If you will excuse me! I must complete my ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ daily gym visit, but I will reply ASAP.

As soon as possible, that is. :))))

(╭ರᴥ•́) I believe this one is a dog in a monocle.

[NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN. It got Jarvis now.]

No. Absolutely not. Stop that.

Voice;

[edwinjarvis]

Absolutely not to your absolutely not!

You're being quite a scrooge, Mr. Fenris. I shall use them on paper, too.

Voice;

[wolfuncaged]

They are ridiculous, Jarvis. Why do you even need to make a dog in a monocle? What purpose does that even have?

[At least it isn't three-mouth. He can be glad for that. ]

If I find them on any of my paperwork, I am going to burn them.

How do you know what symbols to use??
Is there a guide??

text;

[edwinjarvis]

There is not... it's been quite an ordeal of trial and error.

I can happily show you what I know, however!!!

Or you can do the Americanized emoticons. They're sideways, though. Quite a bit more ambiguous to the eye.

:)

>:(

I like the ones on their sides. They involve much less creative energy.
:D
Do you know lol Mr Jarvis??

[Oh, look at this man from the past deal learn to technology. How cute is this.]

Have you heard about voice-to-text? What about electronic paper?

[edwinjarvis]

Oh yes!! I have learned the voice-to-text!

Very handy when I compose my list for the shops on stations or planets.

Electronic paper, though? That seems like such a paradox.

[padadin]

There are apps made specifically to write up lists, too, if that's something you do a lot.

It's a screen that imitates books. Or newspapers. The display reflects light like paper, which makes it easier on the eyes to read for a long time. It uses "electronic ink". They're usually used on small reader tablets, just to read books and documents. All your library in just your hand.

STOP

[edwinjarvis]

Miss Opal, you've quite outdone your nay-saying! ☆=(ゝω･)/

I would be concerned if you did not show up to voice your disapproval in some way.

[robitussin]

DON'T YOU ☆=(ゝω･)/ AT ME EVER AGAIN

i won't stand for this filth

[mrfancyhat]

Yeah, they are all the craze in Japan all right. They get annoying real fast.

[edwinjarvis]

I suppose too much of anything would drive one mad.

Fortunately, we are in the deepest reaches of space! ☆=(ゝω･)/

[mrfancyhat]

And fortunately, it doesn't seem to be very popular here. Little victories.

Haven't you caused enough trouble with little text images?

I haven't a clue what you mean, Miss Carter! ( ˘▽˘)っ♥

Look how precious. You surely can't hate them.

[spacebro]

I didn't know you could make faces. That's more fun! My people didn't use as many written forms of communications. We had hologram projectors that played video and voice. So, actual faces, but actual faces don't have heart eyes! ♥⌣♥

[edwinjarvis]

So many advanced civilizations around here! We've quite a ways to go on Earth still!

I suppose it's all metaphorical. Heart eyes mean you look upon someone with great love and affection, doesn't it?
