IDEA: Emotion via Internets
Matthew Baffington
I think we may have something here.
Whilst I was in a midst of anger over our security leak with Creative’s abuse of Internet Access codes, I looked to express my grief and disappointment with our fellow Captains of Industry via Tweetter. It was at this point where I found a short-coming in the ability of technology—even when America invents it.
So therefore:
Can we develop a mechanism that can express emotion via Internet transmission? I should think we might have something.
In the meantime, you shall find me at Skippy’s having a drink to sooth my own emotions. It would be most agreeable that I not catch any Disease from its patrons numbered less than 3, or I will not be in attendance.

Thought Leadership at its best, Mr. Janikowski. Please instruct all to engage in the learning of ASCII Technology, and disseminate appropriately to all Creative Staff to follow appropriate SOPs for displaying emotion.
Mr. Baffington sir, what level of ASCII would you like be required for creatives? I was thinking 4.
By all means, at least a 4. If you can achieve a 5, then we might enjoy a vodka tonic together at breakfast on the morrow the level is achieved.
We might be confused on what ASCII is, here.
Midwestern vernacular as in, “I need to ASCII a question.”
Art Director - I’ll put this as extinctly as possible. All creative-related communications on private bloggings goes through me. You really have no business sharing your thoughts unless you are personally asked by or me another senior manager. Please heed this warning or access codes will be revoked by webmaster.
Mr. Baffington. As one who is constantly in touch with my own emotions, the thought of this technology is very exciting. We may want to look into something called emotional iconography. More information can be found here - http://cdn.aim.com/i/aimexpressfaq/emoticon_h.gif.
Using state-of-the-art ASCII, one can use letters and numbers to convey emotion. Our IT department should be able to leverage this technology and give our communications a more interpersonal reaction.
