Recently I read Nineteen Eighty-Four, a novel by George Orwell set in a totalitarian（极权主义的） state where even the language they use is controlled. Adjectives are forbidden and instead they use phrases such as "ungood"， "plus good" and "double plus good" to express emotions.
As I first read this I thought how impossible it would be in our society to have such vocabulary. However,the more I thought about it, the more I realized in its own way it was already happening. I type messages to my friends and alongside each is an emoji（表情符号）. I often use them to emphasize something, or to not seem too serious, or because this specific GIF conveys my emotions much better than I ever could using just words. And I wonder, "with too much use of emojis, are we losing the beauty and diversity of our vocabulary？"
English has the largest vocabulary in the world, with over one million words, but who's to say what it'll be like in the future？ Perhaps we will have a shorter language, full of saying "cry face" if something sad happens or using LOL （laugh out loud） or BRB （be right back） instead of saying the full phrase. So does this mean our vocabulary will shrink？ Is it the start of an exciting new era？
Yet when you look back over time, the power of image has always been there. Even in the prehistoric era they used imagery to communicate, and what's even more incredible is that we are able to analyse those drawings and understand the meaning of them thousands of years later. Pictures have the ability to go beyond time and language. Images,whether they are cave paintings or emojis,allow us to convey a message that's not restrictive but rather universal.
