One last way users form their digital identity through Snapchat is with the visual component of the app. The visual aspect of Snapchat is arguably the most prominent aspect of the app. The way that users decide to represent themselves is one of the biggest components of their digital identity. Snapchat is all about visuals- whether it is pictures or videos; users are constantly showing others bits of their life. A thought-provoking idea is that users are so willing to share intimate moments of their lives through technological forms, but may not be willing to share those same intimate moments outside of the virtual community. A trend that Snapchat has popularized is the selfie. Back in the days of MySpace, selfies were used, but they were not

While there are dozens of social media apps in this day and age, none of them mastered the art of interpersonal communication in a way quite like Snapchat. This mobile application allows its users to not only communicate, but to manipulate and represent their natural persona in any way that they see fit. There are hidden values and beliefs that helped get this platform to where it is now, and we are here to seek out exactly what makes it such an influencing application for its time. Snapchat is rich in mostly positive beliefs and values, but there have been some negative perceived attributes during the apps first few years of operation. With that being said, we argue that Snapchat holds its core values and beliefs that include but aren’t limited
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? Snapchat is not the bearer of all things sinful
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.

Comparing and contrasting between the two applications helps decide which application are people more likely to use.
Just in time for capturing 10 seconds of video this holiday season, Snapchat's started selling their Spectacle glasses on November 10th.

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.
The picture is the subject of the conversation, so most messages tend to be about the photographer and their surroundings. Snapchats, as political columnist Jacob Weisberg puts in his article We Are Hopelessly Hooked on the New York Review, allows the user “to compose [their] self-presentation, while looking more casual and spontaneous than a Facebook profile” (2). Users do take on this mindset, as Snapchat becomes a casual way for users to subtly brag to their friends about what they are doing via a special feature allowing for 24-hour posts that all of their friends can see. Teenagers are fond of this because they can share what is going on in their lives without anybody asking. It can also be used as a conversation starter for face-to-face conversations
Throughout the play, Macbeth develops from a relatively good character, to a greedy murderer. In the beginning of the play, Macbeth is seen as a brave warrior by King Duncan, who then bestows the title ‘Thane of Cawdor’ upon Macbeth. Macbeth’s character begins to change after he is encountered by three witches who reveal prophecies to him. After Macbeth discovers that he will be named king, he and Lady Macbeth develop a plan to kill King Duncan. However, Macbeth begins to have doubts of their plan, and says “we will proceed no further in this business.”(I.vii.31) This tells the reader that Macbeth still possesses some humanity, and believes that they should not follow through with the plan. After Lady Macbeth persuades Macbeth to kill king,
It is uniquely human to inquire what exactly it means to exist. At the end of an intensive philosophy course I took this past summer at Vanderbilt, I laughingly admit that I left knowing less than I did before. I took delight in this obscure study because of its unconventional objective- to critically determine and comprehend our own philosophies to abide by. With this, humans must ultimately decide what existence means and how they will interpret fundamental moments that will inevitably occur. The basis formed from such speculation serves as a determinant for the outcome of an individual's life. While philosophy may seem somewhat complex and simple all at once, a deeper investigation into one of its many disciplines must be conducted for one to develop a better grasp. One of my absolute favorite concepts to confuse myself with is the subject of morality. My fellow classmates and I, along with my professor, posed the question “are humans born
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).
Oxford Dictionaries awarded the term ‘Selfie’ as word of the year in 2013 and define this phenomenon as "a photograph that has taken of oneself, typically with a smartphone or web cam and uploaded to a social media” arguing the selfie to be the modern approach to self-portraiture with “More then 1 Million Selfie’s taken each day”.
