InAPPropriate (A look into youth behavior on photo sharing apps)

The unavoidable popularity in tech gadgets has taken over and infiltrated the youth. Kids of all ages can be seen using Smartphones and Tablets, and seem to be using them at increasingly younger ages. These gadgets come along with power and access to things which may be too advanced, or a bit inappropriate.

While it is important to keep with the times and the technology available to us, it is also important to remember boundaries that must be instilled. The most access kids use to have was to a computer, which in my day was a desktop in a communal family room. This gave a sense of independence, but it was also in a safe environment where some form of monitoring could occur. Now kids are given the freedom of carrying around their gadgets at all times, giving them the freedom to use and do whatever they desire with them.

Photo sharing appsPhoto sharing should be a positive and creative experience- allowing others to see pictures you have taken and giving them access to your adventures. The only problem is that some photo sharers aren’t very wholesome or family friendly.


Take Instagram for example: you can follow individual people and see their pictures and you can also look at a popular page which shows the pictures that have been “liked” the most. While some photos are interesting shots of nature or of some cute little puppy, more often than not at least one of the images will be a scantily clad young female.

The cycle continues due to the fact that young children idolize certain celebrities, even those that may not be the best role models. There are a lot of female celebrities that voluntarily share images of themselves in provocative outfits, or sometimes no outfits at all. These not-so-prude ladies have an influence on their young fans since they are posting these images on their social networks for all of their millions of followers to see.

Women who aren’t celebrities contribute to said problem too. There isn’t a time that I can open up my Instagram and NOT see a picture of a half naked girl making a pouty face. This photo sharing network has now become a personal promotion network of females flaunting themselves for millions of other users to see. Young girls then see such images and believe that such actions and behaviors are what makes one cool, attractive or desirable and therefore mimic these approaches.

While users can be blocked or reported (along with individual photos), it is important to remember that censoring all of these images isn’t a likely thing. These photo apps (and other social networks) may not exactly be for just anybody. Perhaps if you’re a parent and your child is using such a device, you should consider checking out some settings and making sure what they’re seeing isn’t too much for their innocent eyes.

DO APPS MAKE US FEEL LIKE CELEBRITIES?

I sit here in New York City, typing an opinion blog on my Macbook in my newest pair of high heels. How Carrie Bradshaw of me? No, it is not a coincidence. Many times I find myself saying “What Would Carrie Do?” My desire to emulate the characters of Sex and the City and other real life celebrities is evident in my purchases, and not simply pairs of Manolo Blahniks, but also my mobile devices and the accompanying applications.

How many times are pictures captured of celebrities checking out their IPhones while sitting in a coffee shop on the streets of LA or NYC? Are they simply texting? Often not. My guess is they are updating their Twitter, or uploading a picture on Instagram.

Kim Kardashian on TiwtterI made a Twitter account in 2011 but only after my roommate twisted my arm. I followed a few friends initially but when I found that I could follow some of my favorite celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna, my use of the app skyrocketed. Now I tweet like a madwoman and cannot go a half hour without checking in on what Justin Timberlake has to say. Many of my friends do not like to tweet but have an account solely to follow all their favorite athletes, actors and musicians. With Twitter, we are in real time with these celebrities, as if we know them personally.

My obsession with being in the know of celebrity news not only influenced my download of Twitter but of Instagram. I am sure Rihanna wouldn’t have accepted my Facebook friend request, but with Instagram I am able to see all her wild photographs and feel as though we are friends! This constant documentation of our lives via photographs gives us the feeling of being a celebrity. It’s as though we have our own paparazzi, photoshop included.

Many apps can help create a celebrity life lifestyle. For instance, with the UrbanDaddy app, I can put in that I am in SoHo with three of my girlfriends and we want drinks. UrbanDaddy can give us suggestions of some great bars in the area. POOF, I am reenacting a recurring scene in Sex and the City. A Manhattan anyone?

And your smart device can help you look like a celebrity too. Major retailers like Bloomingdales and Nordstrom have apps. Now I can purchase that outfit inspired by Victoria Beckham right from the palm of my hand.

The use of mobile technology to feed our celebrity addiction is not just limited to females and clothes. Think of all the guys who download the ESPN app to be in the know of all their favorite teams and athletes. ScoreCenter has them looking at their phones for constant updates.

I am not saying the only reason we have and use smart devices is because celebrities do. Many of us use them to help in our normal daily lives and at work. But it is undeniable that television and celebrities are a huge marketing tool for the tech world. Why do you think so many of them are in commercials for these devices? We value the opinion of our celebs and that includes what apps they are using now!

There comes a time where you a fed up with all the notifications and newsletters coming into inbox. There maybe a lot of Facebook notifications and other subscriptions that keep landing in your inbox. Sometimes users signup and subscribe to a whole lot of apps, news sites, blogs and Facebook notifications. Tracking all of this and making sense of it can be quite overwhelming.

This is not an unfamiliar scenario and I am sure as you read this you are in agreement.

Unroll.me - helps you clear the clutter from your InboxFortunately web app Unroll.me will help you take care of all this clutter and help to keep your inbox clean. We have previously written about this service and this is a follow-up post. Since there have been a lot of changes in the service. Previously after unsubscribing from 5 subscriptions you were asked to refer a friend to the service -- this has been done away with totally. You can now get rid of unwanted newsletters and not have to bother with deleting them one at a time and unsubscribing one at a time.

Unroll.me -- How does it work
You simply associate your Gmail. Google Apps or Yahoo mail with the service. Unroll.me uses open ID and therefore you will not need to share your password. Once installed the service will scan for notifications or anything else you get on a regular basis, like Facebook notifications or Twitter notifications. This will be presented to you in a compiled list. You can choose a service and unsubscribe with a single click. You can also get a personalized digest email everyday which would contain all the newsletters or Facebook and Twitter notifications you did not unsubscribe from. This way you get to see them, while Unroll.me keeps them out of your Inbox.

If you want to stop using the service you can revoke access at any time and join again at a later time. If you do give the service a twirl, do let us know what you think about it in the comments section below.

Snapchat: how does it work

Snapchat is all in the news these days and with good reason. The App which has made a big splash on iPhones, iPads and on Android phones and tablets. Lets users take a picture of themselves and send it to their pals. These picture self-destruct in 10 seconds which has been a big hit among sexting teens. Sexting is the term used when people take naked, semi-naked and embarrassing photos of themselves and send it to other people. The Android App and the iPhone app which can be downloaded for free and used, has become so popular that the Snapchat team have announced that 50 million photos are being shared everyday.

Once the App is downloaded on a phone or tablet all one needs to do is to tap the button to take photo or hold the button down to take a video. Select the list of friends to send to. The photo or video gets sent and the self destructs in 10 seconds. Following the success of Snapchat, Facebook launched their own applications called the 'Facebook Poke App'. Which works along the same lines -- why Facebook is always after apps related to human relationships is something to ponder about.

Snapchat for SextingSnapchat Q&A

1. How to take a Snapchat screenshot.
There are many ways to do this -- Google your query and be hit with answers. Anyone can take a Screenshot and if the sender has his or her screenshot taken they are notified.

So thinking that the photo will disappear in 10 seconds and be gone forever is not true, photos can be saved.

2. How to save a Snapchat video.
The answer is given by BuzzFeed's Katie -- here you will find a complete guide on how to store a Snapchat video. If you're not comfortable with people finding and viewing your videos, don't share.

3. Will people be able to share photos and videos
