Now emojis have great influence on us． Sometimes， emojis can be helpful to people from different countries in understanding each other． And when we are feeling exchange． Then the invention of emojis helps change the situation． For example， when we receive a smiling face from our friends online， we try to exchange our feelings by sending the same picture．
It seems that emojis change as time goes by． However， we should be careful when we use them online．
