Why I'll always like the 'like' button
Last week, Facebook caused a cosmic shift in the way we use the "Like" button. FB gave us more options — six animated emojis representing expressions of "Wow," "Sad," "Angry," etc. To this I say: Blah. At first, I was excited, scrolling through my newsfeed for posts to stamp with a gaping "Wow" face. Or a smiley "Ha-ha" face. Alas, nothing. For me, I either like your cat photo or I don't. I either like your Trump rant or I don't. A "Like" will suffice.
