Fair point, I didn't know that so many people hadn't yet adopted cards / e-banking. I understand that many people live in poverty without access to the internet etc but, surely online shopping is a global phenomenon-- you&#x2

That would be great. I work in a generalist type of field where learning new tools is part of the job so I am still googling the same stupid questions almost every day

Emojis have always been yet another way to hijack attention on the screen. It is exactly why they've been so successful. I say "hijack" because the capturing of attention on the internet in 2022 is primarily a function of ad
