Technology And Its Impact On Face

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 drawbacks include too many people being reliant to talking online rather than in person and not verbally communicating with friends even though they are in the same room. Jasmine Fowlkes shows the reality in how social media is affecting our new generation through her article, “Viewpoint: Why Social Media is Destroying our Social Skills.” After discussing the results conducted by several researchers, Fowlkes states,“As more generations are born into the social age, social media will continue to be the favored communication form among young people. However, this shift may begin to affect their ability to properly communicate in person with peers.” Many start to rely on applications on our devices to talk to people, but this results in less verbal communication. In addition, Kelly-Fay’s Talktrack research study showed that conversations held in person are much more impactful than on social media. Rather than making social media a huge part of your life, Fowlkes wishes that people would look up from their phones and engage more with others since that could change their lives.

What is Snapchat? Snapchat lets you easily talk with friends through photos and videos, view Live Stories from around the world, and explore news in Discover. Life's more fun when you live in the moment!

The new app snapjag has taken storm in schools mainly used by teens in high school there are people that use it in college as well. A young 2012 graduate Justin Smith made the app in college for a class.

In our modern day society the technologically advanced apps have seemed to consume the youth of our nation. The mobile messaging device Snapchat that allows you to send people photos and videos that disappear has almost replaced the face to face interactions of everyday life. As social media continues to expand and take over face to face contact between teens starts to digress. According to CNBC, millennials spend more time engaged in social media platforms that they are becoming less social in person when engaging in conversations (Saiidi, 2015). When you go out and meet people they no longer ask for your number to talk more and get to know you, they just ask what your snapchat is so they can send pictures of their face to you.

In understanding what social media group I belong to it has come to me that I belong with the Snapchat family. Snapchat is a social media that helps you snap a picture or video and add captions to share the moment with your followers and have them get a closer to your life. You followers will view the snap and it will disappear after 24 hours unless it was screenshot. With a snap of a picture you can show your fellow followers your current activities. You could also send the pictures or videos to your closes friends so that can it they can see your stoires without showing everyone else. You’re even able to do live video snapchatting with your friends to have a great conversation. Snapchat is just a great combination of Facebook and Instagram to get better experience with social media.

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.”

Twenty-seven individuals were surveyed to determine for how many months do they use SnapChat in comparison to their age and if there is a relationship between age and usage of social media apps such as SnapChat.

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.

Innovations such as FaceBook and MySpace combine images, text, and messaging to create new possibilities for social interaction. Websites such as YouTube combine broadcast media with the self-directed properties of the internet. SMS texting has revolutionised the social lives of many people. All these media allow people to sustain relationships across time and space in ways that have never before been possible. Some are concerned however, that over-reliance on such forms of communication reduces the importance of face-to-face social experience. Others argue that such media present new ways of defining our identities and establishing new kinds of social interaction (Castells, 2000).

Phones are the biggest distraction in today's society. Social media along with messaging encourages people to use their phone more. Snapchat has a feature where you try to get the longest snap streak with people of consecutive days where you sent them a photo. This is just an example of how social media has taken

Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Instagram, and Flicker was invented to keep us in touch and keep us closer to our family and friends. But according to How Facebook ruins Friendships “we took our friendship online” (Bernstein). First we began communicating more by email than by phone and then switched to instant messaging or texting. By joining social Medias online

The label, “Social Media”, is due to its ability to encourage people to be more social and communicative through the internet. Yet, it is now known that the name might not live up to its expectation. With less face-to-face interaction, relationships and communication skills are being sacrificed. Although one may have one thousand

We live in a world of social media where everyone is constantly on their phones scrolling through Twitter or Snapchat with their headphones on, not communicating with one another in person. This new technology has completely changed the way we communicate. It’s changed just about everything about us, changing our culture. It’s changed the way we engage with one another, the way businesses market their brands. To all of us it seems like these applications have been around for awhile, but they’re still pretty new. We’ve become so wrapped up with new technology that we’ve pretty much forgot how to engage and interact with each other face to face. This is a growing fact in the world today that we can’t ignore.
