上一題
The use of emoticons, punctuation to depict a facial expression, is an essential part of the lexicon of the Internet. Even if you don’t use emoticons, you probably know what they are-little strings of characters, when looked at sideways, are like faces showing some emotion. For example, :-D means laughing, with eyes, a nose, and a capital D for a wide, happy mouth. All this is the result of a half-joking computer post put up by a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University on September 19, 1982. Scott Fahlman noticed that some of the jokes being sent around Carnegie Mellon’s computer network were being taken seriously by a few people on campus. Someone who didn’t get the joke might be upset by an all-in-fun comment and send out an angry response. This wasted a lot of people’s time. Fahlman suggested the smiley as a solution. If you write something not to be taken seriously, he suggested, type :-) after it. Some people took up his suggestion and it became part of the Internet shorthand at Carnegie Mellon. The popularity of smiley turned out to be much more than Fahlman expected. Within a few months, it soon spread via messages to other universities and companies. No one really knows how many emoticons there are, but lists of 100 or so are common. The most popular ones are actually turned into little pictures by word-processing or instant-messaging software. For instance, :-( meaning sadness or disappointment becomes / on your computer screen.
