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.

15). This research speaks volumes to the overall effect that the spread of technology has on our addiction to social media. It shows that we now value our time and interactions that happen over the Internet more than we value the true face-to-face interactions that real relationships actually depend on. One study performed on a university campus in Turkey used a questionnaire to evaluate different factors that could have significantly positive or negative effects on a relationship. This study performed by Egeci and Gencoz found that “…those with lower communications problems…were more likely to experience relationship satisfaction” (388). The type of communication that is proven to help grow relationships occurs most effectively face-to-face, where people can read each other’s emotions in their facial expressions and non-verbal

Advertising on Snapchat can be felt more compared to other social media as it is designed for constant change. Many people also enjoy using this app for the amount of privacy and safety features compared to other social media sites. Snapchat is social media at its finest due to the highly personalized messages to one another, while breaking the barriers of traditional social conversation and sharing. At first glance, Snapchat does not seem much different from any other social media app. With every social media app consisting of the same guideline, Snapchat has a way to truly value the conversations that are being shared with one another.

Ever since the advent of twitter into the mainstream as a social media format, it seems as if the social media platform has exploded with countless apps that could all become the next top dog app. One of the more recent and more popular apps currently in the spotlight is snapchat. . Snapchat features quick bursts of pictures and captions that can barely fit a sentence, making the picture the focus and creating spontaneous changes in conversation subjects with every different snap sent. Because of this, Snapchat has altered conversations even more than text messaging. It has taken conversations away from being a deep, meaningful process of catching up and showing concern.

Snap proves the notion of “a picture is worth a thousand words” to be true. Snap not only empowers users to embrace a unique and casual way to share their own adventures with friends and strangers, but also invites conversations between people through the use of ephemeral messaging. For example, I would not have opened up to my close friend, Osama, if it weren’t for Snap. With the complementary visual content, Osama and I consistently share with each other daily updates of our life, ranging from random walks in Philadelphia to discover new restaurants and food trucks on campus. Because of our frequent conversations on Snap, we got so much closer. In addition to that, there are other features of Snap that I particularly have a great experience with. I still remember whenever I hung out with my roommates in college, we would have heart-to-heart talks about our future along with some

Worthman then proceeds to talk about the increasing popularity of these applications among couples and those seeking a partner or to make friends. But after providing her experience she then began to move into the purpose to why she wrote this article. Wortham first proceed to address the they sayers.

Rivaling Facebook’s seven billion video views daily, Snapchat has quickly become a social network king. As with most trends, new phrases have appeared such as “snapchat me” or “add it to your story,” both phrases pertaining to two key parts in Snapchat”s exchange in communication. This evolution in language is a sign of humanity’s evolution as a species. Humans must learn to add videos to social media or they will flit away like the “snaps” they send. Furthermore, uploading videos has become an easy way for people to brag to others about the great time they’re having or a rapid way to feel narcissistic about themselves. And shouldn’t people feel great about how wasted they got at last night’s party? This app is at the center communication, at the center of people’s lives, at the center of

It is stated that “8.796 photos per second are sent on snapchat,” (Smith) every second of everyday. That would mean about 759,974 snapchats are sent daily. The likelihood of the snapchats being sent on someone’s down time, is not probable. The fun awesome new snapchat application that every teen seems to have may not be the safest. 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

Face-to-face communication seems to be a dying art – replaced by text messaging, e-mails, and social media. Human communication and interactions are shaped by available technologies.

Debuted in September of 2011, Snapchat is a multi-messaging application for mobile devices developed by Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy (Hempel & Lashinsky, 2014). The phenomenon of ‘self-destructing messages’ has significant implications for personal communication. Snapchat, an evolutionary innovation, revisits ephemeral dialogue amid the contemporary ubiquity of digital permanence—where increasingly, communication assets are virtually stored and endlessly retrievable. The history of the vaporizing message, at first unintentional and later revised as an innovation in personal digital communication, is essentially shaped by changing ideas of privacy, permanence and propriety. How this medium constricts or encourages communication is particularly relevant as notions of scarcity and feedback are remixed on an uninitiated generation. By asking these questions, we hope to better understand the role of Snapchat and ephemeral messaging in an environment of digital permanence.

In this paper the writer will scrutinized the following article “Snapchat is More Personal: An Exploratory Study on Snapchat Behaviors and Young Adult Interpersonal Relationships”, to understand how Snapchat influences the relationships of young adult individuals. This study was published in April 13, 2016, and conducted in a Midwestern university in the United States, by J. Mitchell Vaterlaus, Kathryn Barnett, Cesia Roche, and Jimmy A. Young. The researchers uncover if the young adults are gratified with using Snapchat in terms of relationships, and emphasized some of Snapchat’s features that supply this need of satisfaction (Vaterlaus et al., 2016).

In a smartphone communication survey conducted by Monica Anderson of Pew Research Center, smartphone users were observed over a one-week period. The study shows that 97 percent of usage on users’ smartphones is text messaging. It also shows that 92 percent of usage is communication through video or voice calls. Less than 50 percent make up music, podcasts, and navigation. This survey concludes that smartphone users spend most of their usage time through communicating with friends and family (Anderson, 2015). The high percentages are because communication through smartphones is convenient, helpful, creative, fun, and accessible when it comes to communicating with friends and family and also long distance relationships. Smartphone communication features can benefit, rather than harm, how society communicates with one another.
