Millennials think an emoji is worth a thousand words.

Millennials think an emoji is worth a thousand words. A Harris Poll survey found 36% of 18-34-year-olds think modern hieroglyphics, like emojis, emoticons, and GIFs, better express their thoughts and feelings than words. Unsurprisingly, the older the generation, the less likely they were to say the same. When asked about conveying emotion only, two-thirds of Millennials said GIFs worked better than words. Millennials were also much more likely to want to send an emoji to communicate rather than hop on the phone. (TIME)
