Modern Hieroglyphs






When I think of hieroglyphs, the first thing that comes to my mind is a book I read called The Red Pyramid which deals with hieroglyphs in a modern way and made the old Egyptian style hieroglyphs useful.



Then for some reason that made me think of smileys and emotes which I have a tendency to over-use. They're like a hieroglyph of our generations because its like expressing an emotion in a few simple letters and numbers and symbols without really using words. And many adults are confused on what they stand for so its like they have to decipher it like a hieroglyph.
