Just So Darn Creepy...

I consider myself fairly well-versed in technology and social media.  I know how to do things on the computer.  I understand most tech-speak - and if I don't I can sorta guess what you're talking about it.  I use Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest religiously.  I even know what a meme is.  And even with all this, I still can't fathom what the heck Snapchat is about.

Apparently, lots of people use it to take photos - why they can't just use the camera on phone.  Because as far as I can tell, the only thing it has going for it is that you can add words to the photos to explain to people what's happening in the photo.  Which I suppose would come in handy if you couldn't really see the photo but if you can't see the photo, then you can see the words, right?  I feel there's a flaw in their logic.

And of course the other thing it does - and the entire reason I'm railing against the machine - is this face swap thing that so many people are using to terrorize their friends and frighten small children. Why, why, why?? Why on earth is this a thing?  It's just so darn creepy. Let's pass a rule that we as the human race aren't going to do that anymore.  Life will be just a whole lot more refined...
