Snapchat Addiction

Recently as I was looking through snapchat stories, I watched celebrity Ashley Benson’s story. She is an actress on the tv show Pretty Little Liars and is very well known for her movies as well. Her snapchat stories are usually very long – she constantly posts pictures to her stories to share with the entire world (literally) and I always feel like I’m living her life right beside her. Last week she went to a restaurant in California with one of her friends. This wasn’t a traditional restaurant though, it was completely opposite. There were no hosts/hostesses, or waiters/waitresses. Instead, people seated themselves and ordered from small tablet devices on each table. There was no human to human interaction at all in that restaurant, and in Ashley’s snapchat story she was complaining that there was no human service, and no one was coming to check her table or attend to her needs. It’s kind of ironic because she was complaining how there was no interaction and that she and her friend were forced to use the tablets, meanwhile she is snapchatting all of it every minute, therefore further emphasizing that depletion of human to human interaction.
