On another recent episode of the podcast Too Embarrassed to Ask, co-hosts Kara Swisher of Recode.net and Lauren Goode of The Verge answered listener questions about teens and how they use technology and social media with the help of two “experts” – reporter Casey Newton of The Verge and Kara’s son, Louie.
And Louie had a lot to say.
As Recode Radio producer Eric Johnson writes on Recode.net:
Like mother like son – Louie minced no words when the hosts quizzed him on everything from Snapchat streaks to whether anyone his age uses Facebook Messenger.
“I have the app downloaded,” he said. “I sometimes accidentally open it.”
[...]
[Louie] said he loves Instagram ... and would, in fact, choose it over Snapchat if he had to get rid of one of the apps.
“Snapchat, the only real thing that I care about is talking to people and you can do that on Instagram by direct messaging, or DM’ing, them,” Swisher said. “I can see what people are up to, I can look at funny things. Instagram is my favorite app.”
If you are or will soon be the parent of a teenager, you’ll want to give this episode a listen.
