This article talks about how Scott Fahlman, who was a CMU professor,
invented the emoji. It was invented on September 19th, 1982. This began
to spread throughout the campus, and eventually to other schools, and
then on to be used by millions of people around the world. It had only
taken a few months for those to spread throughout the world.
