FG 10 | Boy “For the picture, for example, I create flames, it will be about many days, I mean it’s really a kind of number of days that we talk with someone and we can send pictures. I mean we have to send pictures but not necessarily… well when you say we share pictures, for me, it’s not pictures of me. For example, I don’t know, I put my hand in front of the flower vase and it’s good I get a small emoji of a flame and at least people, they know it’s the picture of the day and that’s it. And it’s true. Then they don’t like… no… no pictures of me every day then, I’m not gonna… […] After I mean it’s not that important, I mean… for example, even someone who had a full year sending pictures with somebody, for sure it will be a little annoying, for a little while that he has lost it, but after all it’s not vital. We can have flames, well we start over again, and I don’t think it is that important. For some, it’s all their life, I mean if they lose 3 of them they are like “woooh”, I mean it’s true” |

Boy 1 “On Snapchat there is a thing, the fire system, I don’t have the application myself, but what is it exactly? Because it looks like to be quite addictive that thing. Yeah I think that it’s also a problem with Snapchat, it’s… intrusive. It’s… it’s an incentive to use the application, I mean that’s what I think. […] after three days, there is the fire for example and the idea is to go as far as possible, 100 fires, things like that. And then, yeah, there is not really… connection because, like… for example, if someone create a fire with 10 persons, then she will take a picture… 10 persons it’s not really, I mean there is no connection, talking, things like that” Boy 2 “Well yes actually, you can stay in touch with people that you don’t see, far from…” Boy 1 “Yes, but if you take a picture of the table it’s not…” Boy 2 “Well like that it makes you stay in touch with people. I mean more or less but… if they are at the bottom of your list, you don’t think about it. Whereas if you see them at the top, you could think about sending them a message sometimes or things like that”. |

Girl 1 “I think that when you lose your fires, it’s a grieving. (Group agree) Losing fires is horrible, you lose 170 just like that, pff” […] Girl 2 “I don’t know how to explain; it depends relationships, I don’t know, it’s strange, first it allows to… well, fires are useless, we can agree on that (lough) but here we are.” Girl 1 “For me it’s a grieving when I lose my fires, I’m like “oh no, I’ve lost my fires, it’s a joke” Group “Yet it’s useless” Girl 1 “Yet it’s just useless” Girl 2 “It’s useless, but it allows you to stay in touch etc., that is good. That’s the word I was looking for” |
