I'm laughing at all the people that "feel old". This kid is 13! Literally a child. If you're in your late 20's or 30's, you're not old, you're just not a child anymore. Snapchat is nothing that new. It's just communicating with your friends in a different way that before was not possible. It's like texting on steroids. I don't see the big deal, and I definitely don't like the fact that you can't save them. What's the point of data if you can't save it? What if you capture a truly awesome moment? I'm sure they'll come around at some point and add the option to save snaps within a certain timeframe.


"What's the point of data if you can't save it? What if you capture a truly awesome moment?"

You can download your own snaps from the app within 24 hours if you posted it to your story (which you probably did).


In retrospect (I'm 36), I think I was a child until I was at least 30, and most of my friends were the same. I'm not sure if I still would be if I hadn't had kids.
