The implications of new technology are never clear at the outset.
The kids using snapchat "pictures as speech" are communicating in a way that conveys more information accurately in a faster time. If it wasn't, they wouldn't be doing it. How this will play out, I don't know, but it is clearly a powerful way to communicate and we will see the impact that power has over time.
Good point. I agree on accurate and fast though :)
BTW, I don't use Snapchat either. After writing what I wrote, I'm afraid that I'm already an old fuddy-duddy at 32 and I'm worried just how out of touch and left behind I will be by 50 O.o
Haha, I'm 36 so tell me about it :-D
