Advantages And Disadvantages Of Snapchat

“Social media is about sociology and psychology more than technology” says technology analyst and award-winning author Brian Solis. This quote is the basis of Snapchat and the exact reason to why it is the perfect app for teenagers.

There are many good things about Snapchat. For example I can only talk to my friends, it is fun, and I would let Sophia use it too. For these many reasons, I believe I should get Snapchat.

First it was just photos, then screenshots, then face recognition came, and now most recently something called “snapchat maps. The amount of content and personal details Snapchat has collected of our lives is astounding; however, everyone looks past it. Snapchatting is a different a fun way to communicate, which is why it is so popular and what encourages people to look past all that we give them. Snapchat currently has 173 million users, which just shows how much access to people everywhere around the world. It knows our name, location, birthday, email, phone number, and even more than we can imagine. Until doing this project I was one of these people, blinded by how much I was truly giving away about myself, but now after looking through their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, I truly have learnt a great deal.

Social media has become one of the most dominate things in the lives of today’s youth. Millennials use social media for many reasons, to stay connected and as a source of entertainment. Among all the social media sites, one that is particularly popular is Snap chat. Most college and high school students check this app before twitter, Instagram, Facebook. Instagram noticed this trend early and tried to buy out snapchat, but their attempt failed and now snapchat has not only influenced its opens to copy its stories idea but also almost copy the format exactly. In my paper I will discuss two different articles that both focus on the topic of snap chat usage. I will also contrast these two articles and reveal how they have similar findings but different approaches.

These days, social media applications are taking over our life on an everyday basis, people are constantly picking up their phones to check on what is new in the community. Snapchat and Instagram are the two best applications when it comes to sharing photos and videos with close friends and family. Although both applications are almost similar, there are of course a lot of differences between the two that make each application special in a different way. Comparing and contrasting between the two applications helps decide which application are people more likely to use.

As the US national debt nears $20 trillion, government programs are being looked to be cut, one of those being the SNAP program. SNAP is a federal program which offers nutrition assistance to low income families, by use of food-stamps, while also providing economic benefits to communities (“Supplemental”). SNAP is the largest program in domestic hunger safety (“Supplemental”), the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) works with nutrition educators, faith based organizations, and neighborhood organizations to help those eligible for the SNAP program make informed decisions about applying (“Supplemental”). The FNS also works with the retail community and State partners to improve the program’s integrity and administration (“Supplemental”). The SNAP

Also, according to the SNAP Take-up among Immigrant Families with Children noted, “SNAP benefits are an important component of the social safety net in the United States, not least because they are available to most households meeting program income and asset eligibility requirements, unlike other programs that are primarily intended to benefit families of specific composition, such as a single parent with minor children. Moreover, the SNAP program has proven to be a vital and effective social support in the course of the Great Recession, enrolling more than five million additional person’s; a 19 percent increase in caseloads, between the years

In today’s generation, teenagers get emotional when their friend “boxes” them on Snapchat. When someone boxes another person, it means that their picture was opened and they did not receive a response from the person who opened the picture. It almost feels like being boxed is the end of the world. Technology has changed our world immensely. Instead of being concerned for others who have it much worse, many people enjoy complaining about drama that develops behind a thousand dollar screen. After hearing of this “devastation,” I knew this was not right. There are people all over the world who are homeless, being abused, and fighting for our country, while we are here in Sartell, Minnesota complaining about how someone did not Snapchat us back. I am guilty of complaining of this and as a result, I decided to find a way to help someone in need.

There are notable differences within the social media sites and apps that were listed in the brainstorm category. For example, Instagram and Pinterest are heavily based on using pictures that a person can share and write descriptions of each one for people to read so they would understand what exactly they’re seeing. Snapchat is even more picture based and have its differences from Instagram and Pinterest, in which that Snapchat is the equivalent of texting except with pictures and can also have tiny descriptions for each one. Facebook and Twitter have their similarities such as posting a status, sharing pictures, and keeping up with family and friends, but they also have their differences. One difference between the two involve how many characters

Nowadays, the social networks are the principal source of worldwide communication, and they are an essential part of the society that we live in. You can find on the net with a variety of apps, with different features that you can choose from depending on your tastes or what you like to do. For today if we talk about popular apps Instagram and Snapchat are the two more used, meanwhile both are all about photo sharing they do in two different ways.

Sexting on Snapchat spread because of teenagers and by teenagers who wanted to escape from their parents control and have something to do that felt private. “what really makes a new social network become popular fast? Teenagers.”

SnapChat is a photo messaging application (App) developed by Evan Spiegel and Robert Murphy. Both of the founders were Stanford students. The application was initially developed for a project at Stanford. This app allows the user to share photos, videos, add text/drawings, and send them to a controlled list of recipients. Users have the benefit of setting a time limit for how long the recipient can view their snaps (Ranging from 1 - 10 seconds), after which the photos/videos will be hidden from the recipient’s device and deleted from SnapChat’s servers. The smalltime college project developed into a huge social media success due to its innovative feature (Magid, 2013).

Narratio: As I am sure you’ve all guessed by now, today, I am here to discuss the one issue that plagues our world more than any other: Snapchat. Snapchat is, as I’m sure most of you know, a picture-sharing social media platform. What sets it apart is that pictures and videos, known collectively as “Snaps,” disappear after a time you choose, maybe 3 seconds, and can never be viewed again. Because of this, Snapchat is the app of millennials, the app of our generation, but it has a dark side.

The author Andrew Leonard has said "We've offered up every detail of our lives to advertiser manipulation, voluntarily embraced a panopticonic existence of constant surveillance, and supinely allowed a bunch of techno-utopian Silicon Valley companies to guide and shape our behavior."(Leonard). In this review the author agrees with Silverman about being under constant surveillance, he also agrees with Silverman that we should constantly be alert about the data that we put on social media as in this statement "Silverman is correct: It is critical that we monitor and understand the consequences of "the data-ization of the digital self." "(Leonard). Andrew does not agree with Silverman on the point "Photos become less about memorializing a moment than communicating the reality of that moment to others,"(Silverman, 55). Andres says that “Before social media, you could argue that the modern world specialized in tearing us apart, in atomizing the relationships that once bound societies together. Now we've got something that helps lace the grand tapestry back together. This is not a bad thing” (Leonard). In a way Andrew finds something good in Social
