Do you have a thick phone wallet? Do you use a novelty ringtone or set notifications to ping constantly? Is the crying laughing emoji one of your go-to texting characters?  Well, you may not think of yourself this way, but you're middle aged. 
In this revisited episode of The Big Tech Show from July of this year, Adrian speaks to producer, JJ Clarke. 
Adrian kicked off the conversation by talking about the older generations' annoying habit of leaving their ringtone on in public places.

Overuse of certain emojis is a hallmark of people who have aged out of the zeitgeist. Adrian spoke about the overuse of the crying laughing emoji. He said it was used like punctuation by this type of phone user and that every message from one of these senders will include them.
