Emoticons were invented to express concepts within the tightly-limited interface of first computer keyboards, then cell phone keypads. Seeing the emoticon-covered shower curtain above makes me wonder: What will archaeologists think when they dig one of these up in 5,000 years? Will they assume these were the hieroglyphics of our time?
I also wonder if they'll be able to assemble the curtain right-side-up, puzzle out that these are facial expressions, and conclude that all humans of our era had our heads tilted at 90 degrees to the left.
