Sometimes you do press one – it only takes a second or so – the bright green delighted one, maybe, or the paler-green happy one, the light red sad face, or, worst of all, the dark-red, distressed one. Over the past decade these Smiley Terminals, as they are known, have become ubiquitous. They are the invention of a Finnish company, HappyOrNot, which has sold more than 30,000 of them in 135 countries. Each one weighs 1kg, has four years of battery life and can be assembled in just two minutes. Soon every terminal will be fitted with an anti-microbial coating to help limit the spread of coronavirus.
