Typing Emojis on a smartphone is now the way many
Millennials (ages 18 to 28) and Teenager (ages 12 to 17) communicate in a
language bordering on Egyptian Hieroglyphics.
Professor of Modern English Literature at of
University College, John Sutherland, claims that it'll soon be a replacement
for English based on his research as noted in my blog article
entitled “University
College Research says Emojis replacing English in Communication - Internet's
Universal Language in the Age of Emojis”.
But there is a need for a way for desktop users to
get in on the emoji language trend, as having WhatsApp on your Desktop as
reported in my blog
article entitled “@WhatsApp
comes to the Desktop via the Browser - Why Desktop on Laptop and PC is Mobile
Social Network's Last Frontier” is pointless if you have to press multiple
buttons to type one emoji.
There are even Star Wars emoji on Twitter that have
been launched as part of the promotion lead up the Star Wars The Force Awakens
Movie in December 2015 as reported in my blog article
entitled “@StarWars
The Force Awakens Teaser Trailer 2 - Star Wars Emojis as May the 4th celebrate
Star Wars as the Force Returns in December 2015”.
Emoji
Keyboard from Disk Cactus – 150 Emoji character you’ll love to use
Introducing the Emoji
Keyboard from Disk Cactus, making it easy to be a modern-day Egyptian as
reported in the article “The
World Needs This Amazing Emoji Laptop Keyboard”, published March 11, 2015

The Emoji
Keyboard is a kickstarter project that's really an ode to Apple users, as
there currently is no version of this product for Windows peeps. Disk Cactus is
seeking US$20,000 in funding from Apple peeps to produce some one thousand
(1000) of these one hundred and fifty (150) character keyboards at US$10 a pop
as reported in the article “This
crazy emoji keyboard replaces your keys with over 150 emojis”, published
Mar. 11, 2015 by STEVEN TWEEDIE, Business
Insider.
According to their Emoji
Keyboard Kickstarter page, some four hundred and sixty four (464) backers
have pledged a total of US$20,986 as of Saturday July 11 2015, managing to
achieve their initial goal of US$20,000 as reported in the article “Emoji
Keyboard for Mac: Beware, you may never type words again”, published March
12, 2015 by Anthony Domanico, CNET News.
It's really a silicon cover you place over your
keyboard, similar to the ones described in my Geezam
blog article entitled “How
to protect and prevent your Laptop or PC Keyboard keys from fading”.
Emojis
Keyboard by Disk Cactus – How Emojis can make you unhackable
Once connected, download and install the Emoji Keyboard program
and the keyboard allows you to communicate in emoji without having to press
multiple characters.
The Emoji
Keyboard gives you access to some one hundred and fifty (150) emojis and
you can get access to more by pressing a special key and then selecting the
appropriate emoji by using the shift, control or options key.

Switching back to regular keys is a matter of
pressing the CapsLock key, the only use it has on this keyboard, as these
modern day hieroglyphics have no capital letters.
I just hope that Disk Cactus eventually makes a
Windows version, as emojis are also a great way to make an unbreakable password
for online banking, according to Intelligent Environment from UK as noted in
the article “Emoji
passcodes are the PIN replacements we both want and need”, published June
15, 2015 By James Vincent, The Verge.
Still, this would only appeal to Millennials;
Generation X (ages 29 to 45) and older members of society would have to learn
to read emojis in the first place.
Once that learning curve is overcome, hacking
incidents such as the JIS (Jamaica Information Service) hack as described in my
blog article
entitled “Anatomy
of ISIS hack of the JIS Website - How the @JISNews Website was hacked and Why
Hactivists couldn't access sensitive GOJ Databases” would become a thing of
the past, a this is effectively a form of symbolic encryption.
In reality, you password is composed as a series of
characters from a regular computer, just that the Emoji
Keyboard overlays them with symbols. Thus, you would become a better password
user on your computer in this new Internet based language that very few
understand.

Emojis to replace English for communications online,
heralding a universal language that only the Millennials and teenagers can understand
on Mobile Social Network like Snapchat can understand as reported in my blog article
entitled “@Snapchat
Best Friends is Friend Emojis - How @Beyonce’s explains why @KimKardashian
Needs Love as Moon says More Light”?
It just might happen if the Emoji Keyboard comes to
Windows PC’s and Laptops.
