Back in the 1970s, the Boomer's went wild for their mood rings. Now their spawn, those totally wired Gen Y kids, are going wild for their version of the mood ring--Emoodicon.
This is a nifty way for the lol, omg, kthksbye, twitter, texting, blogging, loving kids to share their emotional state when they are away from the computer. You know. Outside.
Anyhoo. Still wondering what this Emoodicon ring thing is all about? You can watch the video, or you can just get the scoop here:
"They’re smileys for the real world. They tell the world what’s on your mind.
If you don’t know, I’m not going to tell you,” is a phrase you’ll never utter again. If your boyfriend or girlfriend or best friend or roommate or evil arch nemesis has eyes, they’ll know. (If they don’t have eyes, no ring will help you. Sorry.)
Emoodicons are completely customizable. They’re cool, they’re fun, and they won’t break or turn your finger green. Isn’t that a nice change?"
It's also an interesting social commentary, showing the depth of the love affair that kids today have with technology. Using symbols from the keyboard and online world to communicate their true feelings.
Yep. Times are a changing. And oh yeah, there's an Emoodicon "Make a Face" contest.
