These are some of the unknown questions that nobody can really gauge about social/mobile apps of the 21st century. As in, is it affecting our social media? How is it affecting our social media if it is? What will the future hold for snapchat? My main reason for asking this question was to get a feel about how in depth people truly feel about it. well as you can all see, the responses vary from user-to-user. (The more responses I get, the more I will add, so stay tuned!).

“So people can send me pictures of my puppies while I’m in Scotland.

Can set the time someone’s allowed to see them so if you want to send them something stupid, they only have x amount of seconds to figure out how to screen shoot it and save it.

“I can be stupid without repercussion.”.

“Easy photo/video sharing more casually than instagram”.

“I use it because it allows me to take quick quirky photos to share with my friends and my fave thing about it is the fact that it lets you know when someone screenshots your photo.”.

“I feel like it’s more personal than texting, since you can associate a face with the message and I like how it finds people in my phone book who also have snapchat“.

“I use snapchat to quickly share photos with individuals and I my fave things about it is its exclusivity”.

“Because it’s pointless, fills the lonely boring minutes, I don’t have to think, I just do.

I proceeded to get a few different responses, such as:

“Why do you use snapchat? Whats your fave thing about it? GO!” So I recently asked a few colleagues/friends of mine a combination question about Snapchat.
