Hands up. I admit it. I’m not really of the
Snapchat generation.
Somehow or another I manage to make my way through
daily life without feeling the need to chat with online friends through the
incredibly popular (apart from in my house) smartphone app.
Frankly, I’m worried – rightly or wrongly – that
there might be something a little bit wrong about a man in his late-forties
using Snapchat. I don’t know if I’m missing something important in my life by
never having found a need for Snapchat, but I do recognise that many millions
of people use it many times a day.
Which makes me somewhat concerned about a new
feature that was introduced into Snapchat last week: Snap Map.
Maybe when you read about the new Snap Map functionality
or saw the accompanying video, you thought it was fairly innocuous.
Maybe you even imagined that the feature looked quite fun.
