Many people have heard of the application entitled "Snap Chat" in which a person can take a picture of themselves or anything for that matter, and the person receiving it can only view this file for up to ten seconds until it is automatically deleted. In a day and age where sending a picture message via text message or any other form of communication can come back and haunt a person for the rest of their lives, this type of insurance is highly sought after. In a not so innocent world, this type of app seemed to be more exciting to teenagers who "sext" each other. But when put into a different lens, this type of technology could be extremely useful in a business type setting.
Although this technology is still in its infant stages, an upgraded version of such temporary social media can allow for the transfer of important documents between businesses. Such things could ensure the deletion of confidential information instead of relying on the opposing party to shred the information. It could also allow other top secret information to be passed along, again with the added security that such information would only be view able for a certain amount of time before it would automatically be deleted.
Things such as credit card information when making a purchase online could be used with this technology as well. This would allow for an e-commerce business to make their customers feel more at ease about people taking information from their website and setting up false identification with it. Using the technological platform from Snap Chat and expanding upon it leaves the door wide open for potential uses and safeguards for peoples security.
