I did at first, but talking to people younger than 20 changed my mind.

Saying "the whole emoji thing" is like saying "the whole texting thing" in 2003 or "the whole internet thing" in 1997. They're here to stay, calling them ridiculous marks you as dated. Whether you care is up to you. 😜

I'm not against emoticon even if I don't like, for instance, all the big emoticon that facebook uses, but I like using a few like :P or ;). My point is that it's should stay like it is currently with a combination of ascii symbol instead of adding unicode character for each face, emotions, things that exist in the world.
