title: Teenagers, AirDrop et P2P
The most-used app during school hours with these kids at their New Jersey school isn’t Snapchat or Instagram. In fact, it’s not an app at all. These teens are now using AirDrop, a feature built into their iPhones, to send pictures to each other during class. When I asked why they didn’t just use Snapchat instead, since it’s essentially the same thing, I was informed that they’re actually very different.
AirDrop is superior, my cousin declared, because unlike with Snapchat, you don’t need anyone’s username to send something to them. She also said that this is what makes AirDrop better than texting: you don’t need anybody’s phone number. As long as you have AirDrop enabled on your phone, anyone nearby can send you a file. Plus, she told me some schools have blocked Snapchat, so AirDrop is essentially a workaround. And unlike Snapchat, where you’re limited to pictures and video taken in the app, with AirDrop you can send anything you already have on your phone.

Intéressant de voir les ados innover et finalement être les premiers à utiliser le réseau en pair à pair. Génération A(centrée) ? C’est assez éloigné de la compartimentation qui opère chez les plus vieux (cache).
