America, and I am assuming the rest of the world, is slowly becoming less and less literate.

People don’t read books, text, or instruction manuals nearly as much as they did 50 years ago.

I am not saying this is bad, it is just different.

Communication does not need to go through words, but words do allow for very technical nuances to be communicated.

Facebook has brilliantly identified our lack of ability to communicate clearly through words anymore and have given us stickers.

By now I am sure you have seen the cutesy little stickers available when you comment. Just hit the smiley face.

As a quick test, on my own wall and on the wall of an internet marketers group I belong to, I started a thread saying you could just use stickers.

It is one of the quickest filling threads I have ever seen, and definitely the most colorful.

It allows you to be cute, colorful, and creative all with a click of just one button.

We used to do this a long time ago, but it fell out of style.

Welcome back to hieroglyphics.

I aint judging, just different.
