THIS APP IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Self-Awareness

The memory is not always completely reliable. That's why photographs are so important: they trigger an emotional response to a particular person or event. Photographs tell stories and narratives. Timehop functions in a similar way. Not only can users tune into their thought and feeling from a particular time in their lives, but the app's timeline allows users to analyze their manner of speech, photo techniques, groups of friends, and general disposition by checking their Timehop daily. Because most users of social media are fairly vocal about their thoughts and ideas, users can view ideas and feelings that are 2 or 3 years old to the day. How have they changed? Has the user's online activity and social media patterns changed? Are some photos and post embarrassing? By analyzing the nature of past post and pictures, users will start to get a better idea of their past online personality. They can choose to perpetuate it or make changes. Maybe it might push them away from social media. Post can be personal, and even reviewing old post can be uncomfortable. Users can learn about themselves simply by looking at the things they have posted to the internet. But it's not all bad. Timehop can trigger wonderful photos and memories as well.

Working Memory

When on vacation one is always advised to take pictures. This way, they can keep their memories safe and secure in a photo album. But sometimes it's interesting to see what was going on one, two, or three years ago to date. And that's exactly what Timehop does. The app helps trigger the sights, smells, and emotions associated with each picture or post. It's a great asset when revisiting a trip abroad, graduation, or any memorable experience. It's important for users to remember where they were just a year ago, as it gives them a new perspective on the present. The working memory thinking skill primarily deals with activating the memory during an activity -- and when used correctly, that's how Timehop works. It allows users to activate their long and short term memories while engaging with social media.
