From the paleolithic age to the present: From cave paintings to emoji, animoji and memojis as a means of emotion expression

Human beings conveyed their some sections, feelings, and experiences with wall paintings drawn in the caves during the Upper Paleolithic Age especially. In the digital age, they takes similar actions with emojis. Therefore, it is currently being discussed that communication is uniformed visually. Emojis become a specific form of communication. Emojis have an anonymous structure. Emojis characterize a digital return to the dimension of communication that realized to the cave walls. Emojis have also been instrumental in the birth of animoji and memojis. In addition, the information that emoji language will be used in United World State which the first digital state established by Enis Timuçin on May 19, 2019, where everyone can be a citizen regardless of language, religion, race and gender may lead to views that the world is on the way to standardization through digitalization. Another topic of discussion is related to the Esperanto language, which emerged as a universal language. The Esperanto language draws attention in terms of linguistic standardization in digital age. For this reason, this thesis evaluates digital processes and practices. The thesis will evaluate emojis as "a digital return"" to the episodic paintings on the walls of the cave.
