As the makers of snapchat say, “Snapchat is a camera.” This idea of considering snapchat to be a camera is important because of what cameras do. Cameras were first invented to help capture the beauty of people and objects of the world. Since its beginning, Snapchat has done just that and more, only with slightly more pizzazz. Snapchat’s innovative way of adding filters and refining a photograph to have stickers, words, and other silly displays has redefined the way pictures are taken, though many individuals consider this to be negative. While Snapchat offers a new way of expression of the self and it has cultivated a new way of capturing the essence of the being, it still has faults beyond belief, but to what extent is that really Snapchat’s fault?

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.

The vast majority of millennial are well aware of a social media output called "Snapchat". Turn your selfies into a dog or cat or add some art to make it look spiffy. Give yourself cartoon eyes or make it seem as if your tongue is made of rainbows. Facebook profile pics are splashed with Snapchat filters that make the average selfie look ethereal with a wreath of flowers and a halo of light placed just so. From fancy to goofy, Snapchat seems to have just about every kind of filter out there to make your selfies fun.

Selfies help people express themselves in ways they would have never before. You are usually very comfortable with your own self taking pictures and not others, therefore you can be funny, nerdy, or sexy without feeling judged. Time magazine reports that selfies can just be an outlet of self expression and we shouldn't be so consumed with all the selfies floating in cyber space. “Self captured images allow young adults and teens to express their mood states and share important experiences,” says Dr. Andrea Letamendi, a clinical psychologist and research fellow at UCLA.

The use of selfies and Snapchat is something that I never really understood. I don’t have a snapchat and most people think I live in the stone age because of that. I get that it is a fun way to communicate with friends, but when it starts to take over and people begin to pay more attention to the notifications and pictures on their phones instead of the environment around

SnapChat Company Overview 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).
