If you have Snapchat, then you should know about the new update. Snapchat pretty much changed everything within their app. I have gotten used to the new update and have already figured it out. Some people have contacted Snapchat in multiple ways just to get the old update back. At first, I almost signed the petition, but I got to thinking that change is good and it will be different in five years anyway.

Social media is such a big part of this generation and I can only imagine what the next generation and the generations after will have to deal with virtually. One click and you can send a picture to anyone in the world. Scary right? Imagine what is freely popping up on your child's phone and the access that they have to literally anything. Where will the social media world be in five years? I have no idea, but it will be far more advanced than it is right now.

I am majoring in Strategic Communications with a focus on Social Media Management at Liberty University and I am beyond blessed to be able to have the perspective of the internet from a Christian point of view. Supposedly in 2017, eighty-one percent of Americans had a social media profile, including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, YouTube, etc. By the way that things are looking, that number will increase. There is nothing wrong with that at all. I love social media because it helps me keep up with my family and friends that do not live near me. One does need to take caution because social media can get sketchy if you use it in the wrong manner.

In five years, Snapchat will not be the same. Instagram will not be the same. Even email apps will not be the same. My advice is to accept the change and be prepared because it is about to get worse!
