Once our communication devices deploy the technology that enables them to analyze the facial expressions, they will become witness to our momentary mood and instant reactions. In this scenario, they can automatically and through sheer typography take care of the often devastating hurdle of communicating tone in text messages (not that we will necessarily be comfortable with such an option).

when you are texting, you are neutral, and your phone can read your face. when you are texting, you are relaxed, and your phone can read your face. when you are texting, you are joyful, and your phone can read your face. when you are texting, you are suspicious, and your phone can read your face. when you are texting, you are astonished, and your phone can read your face. when you are texting, you are disgusted, and your phone can read your face. when you are texting, you are scared, and your phone can read your face. when you are texting, you are sad, and your phone can read your face. when you are texting, you are melancholic, and your phone can read your face.
