So.... who thought that using a bunch of microbe-sized drawings to express full thoughts was a good idea?? It’s like a rebus puzzle for eagles or hawks …. Or for anyone w/ a magnifying lens.
Maybe you’re old enough to remember the TV Game show, “Concentration”. Contestants would win a match by guessing the rebus puzzle behind the cards. (found a quick solve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuzNfpF1tPU)
The bad part is that on most apps (e.g. text Messages), you’re limited to a bunch of crummy pictures, BUT, the worst part is that a lot of folks are doing it … not just kids; what gives??
Here's a tweet from the Horry County (SC) Sheriff department:
This one is not too bad, but COME ON … reading messages shouldn’t be the tough part … comprehending their meaning should be!
Btw, not to sound like an old fart, but, IMHO, if history is any indication, we better be reading minds soon or there’ll be lot of frustrated folks out there. After all, we went from sending carriers for messages to sending mail to sending emails to sending texts to abbreviated word text to rebus-puzzle texts …
