    This doesn't surprise me. There are a lot of nuances in verbal tone and body language that don't come across via technology.

    That said, emojis are actually helpful in conveying emotion, and certainly it is helpful if I'm communicating with a friend or neighbor that doesn't share the same first language as me. It's also helpful when there just isn't time to make a phone call or see someone in person, as is often the case.

    So sometimes it's NECESSARY to communicate with technology - but that doesn't always mean that someone PREFERS it. Although I guess what the article is pointing out is that those who actually prefer it tend to have worse emotional functioning.
