Twenty-five years ago, September 19, 1982, the smiley emoticon
colon – hyphen – close parenthesis, was born at Carnegie Mellon University in the U.S., thanks to Professor Scott E. Fahlman.
Now we’ve graduated to big smiles
and sticking tongues out
and Asia has put smileys upright
and added waving hello
and more. Now, for the occasion, could someone make ASCII art of a birthday cake?
