Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

And that is connection with other people.

Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

Fundamentally, what makes us human is our desire for relationships.

Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

And I think...

Tiger Sisters

People want to express that through technology because we can't always be in the same room together with our friends.

Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

Sometimes we're halfway around the world or we're at home when our friends are playing sports or something like that.

Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

And technology helps us stay in touch with the people that matter most to us.

Tiger Sisters

So I don't necessarily think there's a generational difference there.

Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

You know, we have a huge number of millennials that use our service and Gen Z or boomers, even Gen Xers on Snapchat.

Tiger Sisters

So I think what I see cut across every generation is that real desire for human connection, human relationships.

Tiger Sisters

is Gen Alpha old enough to make content?

Tiger Sisters

What's Gen Alpha?

Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

Oh my goodness.

Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

Well, it's interesting you mention that, because I do think at its heart, at its core, content is social in nature.

Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

Whether it's older generations who grew up with television shows and talking about those shows together, or now on the internet, I think different generations or friend groups are finding different pieces of content and sharing that content.

Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

And it can go viral socially in different ways.

Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

But I think what really you're pointing out is that content in and of itself is social.

Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

It is a point of connection.

Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

And so I do think that's going to differ based on friend group or based on generation in some ways, because, you know, when you're growing up, a lot of your friends are also, you know, from school and they're similar ages to you.

Tiger Sisters
Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel: Creativity, Love, and the Future of Tech

And so I do think we end up generationally being attracted to different types of content or different sorts of memes.

Tiger Sisters

But again, I think the cross-cutting undercurrent through all these generations is that desire for human connection and content is part of how we relate to one another.
