For as long as I can remember, technology has been in my life in some way shape or form. I remember my Mother having a flip phone forever, and I got my first phone in the fifth grade around 2010. I think one of the most significant changes has been the smartphone and everything being able to be instant and open. I remember when Snapchat and twitter were very new and there was not much you could do on them. Snapchat had only one thing you could do and that was snap other people. How quickly it grew amazes me and I am curious to why. Like what made people gravitate towards this? Snapchat is the first form of communication for people over getting a phone number. You can be friends on snap with someone way before you start texting them. The amount of relationships I have started (and lost) from Snapchat is really absurd. The way the internet has become such a necessity and not being able to be without WiFi and things like that is so prominent in today’s society.
