Snapchat was officially launched in 2012. The team, attending Stanford University at the time, code named the project ”Picaboo”. Snapchat was initially developed in 2011 by Reggie Brown and Evan Spiegel as a product design class assignment. Once the snap has been opened and viewed it simply ceases to exist. Once a recipient looks at the “snap” it disappears from the device and the servers after an allotted amount of time (as of 2013, users could set the “snap” time from 1 to 10 seconds). The unique part of Snapchat is the “snaps” are only available for viewing for a set period of time. Snapchat is a messaging app that allows users to send pictures, videos and text messages to a selected group of recipients. Snapchat, is one app that, on the surface, may seem innocent enough, but can be extremely harmful. While many of them are harmless, there are a few apps that pose a significant risk to your child.
Whether your child is using an iPhone, a tablet, and iPod or an Android device, he or she has access to thousands upon thousands of applications. Each day many apps are added to digital stores. While living in the digital age has its advantages, parenting in the digital age can be a difficult and confusing process. Children have more ways than ever before to communicate with their friends and family.
