In his 1992 book The End of History and the Last Man , philosopher Yoshihiro Francis Fukuyama claims that the final stage of humanity will be the result of the height of liberal democracy and capitalism as well as the role of new technologies capable of transforming human essence. We can surely agree with him when we look from a critical distance at our everyday communication as it takes place on social media platforms. Online, the medium of conversation and dialogue, with its long tradition in western culture – from philosophy to theatre and cinema – has been reshaped beyond recognition. What is typical of the communication on platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are short sentences, typos, abbreviations, interjections and widespread use of visual elements, such as emojis and GIFs, which are used to enhance the verbal content of the message. Furthermore, these conversations are often asynchronous and take place at the same time as other conversations online and offline. Thus they have to take into account our short attention span and open up a whole new range of possibilities for misunderstandings and equivocations.
