I consider myself an early-adopter. I always try to at least test out new technology, especially if it's what "the kids" are using. But with Snapchat I had a strong reaction of "this is dumb, screw this, I'm too old for this". Plus, no one I knew used it. I guess that makes me old now.

Eyes opening. How I felt old in my 20s just by reading an article :(

Snapchat is the first (and likely not the last) mobile app that I (as someone in my late 20's) just "don't get".

There have been plenty of apps that I've tried and aren't for me so I've uninstalled them, but I always seem to understand their purpose and what makes them unique and desirable to use for someone who isn't me. Snapchat on the other hand...is a mystery.

Old and right. It is dumb.
