  1. 50-75 words explaining how the episode used the conventions, and to what effect?

The more we access the web from mobile devices, the more visual our communications seem to become. Smartphone cameras enable us to express ourselves through the photos and videos we spread around on apps like Instagram and SnapChat. Meanwhile, a growing fleet of messaging services like WhatsApp, WeChat and Line make it even easier to incorporate imagery in our casual communications. Hundreds of millions of people around the world are using them to speak to one another in emojis and digital sticker sets, a trend that has grabbed the attention of Silicon Valley tech giants like Facebook and Google.

 

  1. 50-75 words What about this episode helps you pick the challenge to try out?

In the unedited version, they translated Moby Dick into Emoji and the story of Charles Bliss, the man who tried to build a global language entirely out of images. I think this is a very good idea to translate a story into emoji, if you did it well, you can even ignore language problem, make people in the world understand the story without translators. Therefore, translate a short simple story might be the main thing to do for me and my partner, and we are going to chat something else as well during break time. This will be my challenge to try.
