## The story

The chat icon was the tiny picture next to your name, and it had to be perfect. There were spinning hearts, dancing cartoon fruit, sleepy moons and angry clouds. Kids saved hundreds into folders sorted by mood. A great new icon spread across a contact list in an hour, then everyone had it.

## Fun fact

Switching your icon to a rain cloud was the universal signal for ask me what's wrong, and everyone always did.
