I think that it is for this moment. When the 4g and 5g networks work well in whole world, we won't need emojis, because video will be used to comunicate with others. Everytime we will be less reticent to transmit videos or pics. People want to show themselves and others want to see them, the real person.

I'm not convinced about that. Most people avoid voice communication in favour of text. Video won't change that.

    There's still text chat in SC which is very popular for that exact reason.

And video will replace phones calls... This is as unlikely to be true as it ever was. Video requires an immediacy of response that text communications don't, which is why they are and will continue to be popular.

I believe gifs are already quickly replacing emjois now that apps like telegram and facebook chat apps have gif searched integrated. In the private and public chats I'm in, all emotions are conveyed through gifs.

Video calls work somewhat over 3G and work great over 4G. People just don't want to use a video call. It's a sociological problem and not a technical one and 5G isn't going to change that.

  This reminds me of David Foster Wallace's section in Infinite Jest about the anxiety-inducing video phone technology (very predictive, considering it was written in 1996) - "And the videophonic stress was even worse if you were at all vain. I.e. if you worried at all about how you looked. As in to other people. Which all kidding aside who doesn’t. Good old aural telephone calls could be fielded without makeup, toupee, surgical prostheses, etc. Even without clothes, if that sort of thing rattled your saber. But for the image-conscious, there was of course no such answer-as-you-are informality about visual-video telephone calls, which consumers began to see were less like having the good old phone ring than having the doorbell ring and having to throw on clothes and attach prostheses and do hair- checks in the foyer mirror before answering the door." http://declineofscarcity.com/?page_id=2527 http://declineofscarcity.com/?page_id=2527

I hope video doesn't become the default method of communication. I don't like my face or voice and would rather not bother others with them when there's always trusty ol' text.
