In space exploration, humans try to land on Mars and set up accommodation there, and it

representation of modem communication. On Facebook Messenger, for instance, it's possible
to set a favourite emoji so that you never have to reply with anything else. However, the use
of emojis in communication is limited by several factors, like the absence of grammatical
rules and inability to express any feeling.
Emojis aren't the first-time humans have tried to shorten language. The first was telegrams
using the minimum number of content words and removing the functional ones.
