The word emoticon comes from a contraction of the words emotional icon. Although it has been claimed that the first emoticon appeared in 1979, the first substantiated use of an emoticon came from American computer scientist Scott E. Fahlman on September 19,1982.
On September 19, 1982, Carnegie Mellon professor Dr. Scott Fahlman invented the first emoticon: the humble smiley. Every September 19th Fehlman hands out smiley-face cookies at the Carnegie Mellon campus in Pittsburgh.
Since we all seem to love Smiley Face emoticons, I created two Smiley Face threads......
This thread "Smiley Face Photos" is intended for Photographic posts.....basically of actual Smileys in image...@Lara posts numbers 8 and 12 are excellent examples.
I also created the "Just Smiley Faces" in the Humor Forum which is intended for just that...humor. As in, can you see the smiley face in this object or picture.
Kindly....Please post accordingly. Thank you.
Now please let us see your Smiley's
