History of smile

in #history6 years ago

The familiar smile face appeared in the late 1950s - early 1960s. However, there is no consensus about who came up with the first smiley. According to one version, the author of the emoticon is an American artist Harvey Ball

Who painted this symbol in 1963 for an insurance company that wanted to raise the motivation and morale of its employees.

But author of the computer emoticon is an American scientist Scott Fulman. On September 19, 1982, he wrote an email in which he suggested using emoticons consisting of a colon, a dash and a bracket in ads on a university bulletin board. A funny smiley was meant for jokes, and sad - for ads that were not comic.
