1.0 Introduction
In the past, communication was known as being between two individuals and it was either through talking face to face, on the phone or through letters. The term ‘social media’ did not exist.

Text messaging has become very widespread which then led to new levels of social media applications to be formed such as Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, You Tube.

Snapchat has around ‘150 active daily users’, it has had a fast rise into the digital world. It started a couple of years ago and has gone mainstream is a huge way making it one of the largest digital firms with Facebook, who offered $3 billion in the late 2013.
This application has caused individuals to have a sense of urgency to share their experience. Snapchat has changed the game of communication, this is due to the messages sent only being available once, this means the user must reply to the snap as soon as they have opened it. This temporary effect on the messages causes the ability to dwell on messages to be taken away. Furthermore, Snapchat utilises emoji’s when two people snap each other very regularly, which causes a streak to take place. This streak that appears suddenly causes an urge to keep it going, which then results in individuals to communicate with
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.

Snapchat’s poor company values started in 2011 when a few college guys had, what most think, is a great idea. The idea was to be able to send pictures to other people and after the other person sees the picture, it disappears forever. The only issue was, these couple of college kids made sure the pictures disappeared for a reason. Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel, and his buddies Bobby, and Reggie, created this app as a safe way to sext. Sexting is sending provocative photos of oneself to another person.
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.

Nowadays, we have a lot of development in our life especially in the technological side the most important of these technology is “social media” reload SnapChat. It is very famous and they were 160 million daily active users in February.2017. With Snapchat you can share pictures, videos and you can use the photos and videos that are in gallery.

Snapchat created a spectacle, it’s a sunglasses that can record videos 10 seconds at a time and can connect automatically through your phone, which makes it a lot easier to connect with your family and friends. Having the customer's attention is vital for any company and snapchat thought of a way to introduce the spectacle in such an amazing way by selling the spectacle in a “snapbot” vending machine and intriguing the customers of the secrecy of the location of it. The secrecy around the next destination of the machine is something that the customers find interesting. Finding about the machine coming to your city next at least compels you to consider giving the little vending machine a visit. The most common marketing gimmick employed goes
that is a little extreme but it can very well be true. Snapchat is an app that allows people to send
On 19th November 2013, the word ‘selfie’ was named Oxford Dictionary’s Word of the Year. In a society where images are constantly being circulated, and with applications such as Snapchat being popular amongst a number of generations, this isn’t surprising. According to http://expandedramblings.com/index.php/snapchat-statistics/ the expanded ramblings website, on 16th March 2014 it was recorded that Snapchat’s share of total selfies distributed on social media made up 5% of self-portraits shared worldwide. With 100 million daily users, and an average of 9000 snaps a second the app is one of the most popular ways of sharing ‘selfies’ through social media, amongst other website such as Facebook and Instagram.

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.

While most people say snapchat is an entertaining app for all times, I find that participants can learn it should not always be used when it is to take selfies, add stories, or watch stories. The hard lesson to learn is people should not be so invested in others’ lives and what they’re doing through their everyday pictures. Snapchat interrupts with the attention span, personal communication skills, and thinking abstractly
Snapchat allows the sending of “snaps” — photos and videos with added text, drawings and doodles — which get automatically deleted shortly after recipients view them. Users can also post their snaps to their stories, which let their friends see them an unlimited number of times for 24 hours. The app is available only for smartphones and is particularly popular with people between the age group 13-34, but it is steadily catching the eye of older age groups.
There is currently talk of the potentiality for the use of social media in the classroom. Snapchat is at the forefront of this debate and the question of its use in the classroom environment is turning heads amongst the laymen and educators alike. Snapchat is a phone app that allows users to take pictures and videos that last for ten seconds at a time and then is deleted forever. This app is extremely popular with teenagers and young adults, encouraging educators to pose the question of whether it can be used in a pedagogical context. There is debate as to whether or not any form of social media can be successfully incorporated into the classroom environment without it causing distractions and problems for the administration.
