Looking back at onetime reading of software makes you wonder how we even managed to employ them years ago . dust-covered iterations of programs like Word , Excel , and even Photoshop were rude as perdition by today ’s standard . Butwhat if Snapchat — Mark Zuckerberg ’s favourite passing app — had existed on desktop computers in the ‘ 90s ? It probably would have been simple to use , actually .

The ego - destructing social mass medium app prides itself on an interface that most grownup find confusing , while tweens find it second nature . But asSquirrel Monkeyreveals , hadSnapchatexisted before mobile twist with touch screen and built - in cameras , it would have been dependent on mere pulldown menus and buttons , UI elements even your grandparents get over . Of course , scanning in pic yourself is uproariously time - consuming , so you may have just been better off taking a Polaroid and sticking it in your friend ’s real - life mailbox .
