RCL #8: TED Talk Outline

  • Social Media Apps
    • Instagram 
    • Snapchat
    • Twitter
    • Tumblr 
    • Tinder 
    • Facebook 
  • TED Talk 
    • Focus on one app: Snapchat 
      • How it has changed the way we communicate 
        • Sending pictures of our faces with no words 
        • Picture disappears after a certain amount of time 
        • A more casual feel than texting or calling 
      • Language 
        • Snapscore 
        • “Leaving on Delivered/ on Open”
        • Friends List 
        • “Add me on snap”
        • Snap filters 
        • Snap maps 
        • Private Story 
        • Streaks 
      • Romance with Snapchat 
        • How many teens and young adults communicate when they are causally talking 
        • Many different things that teens do on Snapchat such as leaving someone on open in order to play hard to get 
          • Playing hard to get is nothing new, but the way that people do it now has shifted 
      • Casual Nature of the app
        • For many, it is a lot easier to ask someone for their snapchat than their number 
          • For some reason, it feels easier and more casual 
            • From there, you could start a streak with them and then transition to actually talking on the app, then maybe move to texting 
        • TED talk would be explaining the shift but also could be very informative to older generations who know nothing about how we communicate on these apps or what the apps “norms” are

One thought on “RCL #8: TED Talk Outline

  1. I think your TED Talk is going to be very fun and I think it’s obvious that you know your audience. I think it might be interesting to glaze over the concept of “talking” with snapchat. I feel like “talking” only came about because of the casual nature of social media chatting.
