<p>I’m trying to describe the smiley face on an instant message by saying that it lacks human element. Is there a word that can describe this? A word similar to non-living. Also, can I also describe it as digital? Is there a better word to take the place of the “electronical” characteristic of smilely faces?</p>
<p>Also, how should I describe the hugs and kisses? Typed hugs and kisses? </p>
<p>Here is what I have in my speech: “Would you rather spend your time expressing your human elements of laughter, love, and compassion through face-to-face conversations, hugs and kisses, and walks in the park or through the _____ smiley faces and ____ <em>hugs</em> and <em>kisses</em> of quick and simple instant messaging?”</p>
<p>“Would you rather spend your time expressing your human elements of laughter, love, and compassion through face-to-face conversations, hugs and kisses, and walks in the park or through the inanimate smiley faces and the X and O <em>hugs</em> and <em>kisses</em> of quick and simple instant messaging?”</p>
<p>Here is what I have in my speech: “Would you rather spend your time expressing your human elements of laughter, love, and compassion through face-to-face conversations, hugs and kisses, and walks in the park or through the electronic smiley faces and emotionless <em>hugs</em> and <em>kisses</em> of quick and simple instant messaging?”</p>
<p>I think I will use virtual smiley faces and emotionless <em>hugs</em> and <em>kisses</em>.</p>
<p>However, for the hugs and kisses, do you think the college students and, more importantly, adults would know what the <em>hugs</em> and <em>kisses</em> are?</p>
<p>Should I say emotionless star hugs star and star kisses star? or what?? Thanks for your help guys! :D</p>
<p>Also, instead of vision “problems.” What word could I use to replace “problems” with? I’m talking reduction in vision. I know know how to say that. Vision depletion? Vision ____</p>
