:-) Has a Birthday

It’s been 25 years since the emoticon smiley :-) was born. It was invented by a Carnegie professor by the name of Scott E. Fahlman back in 1982. It allowed people to do something that was very difficult…express emotion in an email or other form of communication. That’s pretty important since emails can be so hard to read as far as emotions go. I wonder of Vulcans would use any kind of emoticons in their communications? :)
