The Future of Digital Communication: Improved Messaging Context, Artificial Intelligence, and Your Privacy

I was born in 1992, the same year the first text message, “Merry Christmas,” was transmitted from a cell phone. That first text message portended a fundamental change in the way we communicate, forcing us to ask how we translate communication to digital platforms. Now, more than 100 trillion messages (includes text messages, comments, and shares) are s ent each year, with more than 3.8 trillion of those having emojis, stickers, or GIFs attached (Fig. 1). Messages are the most common digital activity, dwarfing the number of Google searches each year.
