Let’s dive into the wild world of social media, shall we? Get ready to roll your eyes!
WTF Is Snapchat?
Once a playground for politicians to send questionable photos, Snapchat has evolved into a platform for sharing quick pics (or “snaps,” if you will). Parents panicked, and now even CNN has jumped on board to share photo “stories.” Talk about a glow-up!
WTF Is Kik?
Kik is basically a chat app that lets you text without revealing your phone number. No limits on messages, and you can share photos and videos too! The anonymity factor? A little bit risky, to say the least. Yikes!
WTF Is Vine?
With Vine, you can create 7-second videos by piecing together short clips. It’s a mixed bag of hilarity, boredom, and some truly questionable content—just like the rest of the internet!
WTF Is Hyperlapse?
Hyperlapse is an Instagram app that lets you capture long videos and speed them up for a cool timelapse effect. Definitely one of the more wholesome apps on this list—unless I’m just a clueless oldie?
WTF Is Whisper?
Whisper is like a confessional booth for your deepest, darkest secrets—but with a twist! You can choose funny images to accompany your confessions, but remember: your posts are geo-tagged. Yes, it’s a sneaky way for people to connect over not-so-innocent adventures!
WTF Is Tumblr?
Tumblr is essentially high school all over again, but on the internet. If that doesn’t sound like a wild ride, I don’t know what does.
So, there you have it! A rundown of some of the more intriguing apps your kids might be using—and hey, you can join in on the fun too!
