Jemma: Hello everyone, and welcome back to Hamilton Reacts to 2020! We're back on the patio on Mt. Vernon, and we'll be reacting to social media today. Let's get started! So, you all have phones, right?
Burr: Someone got them for us a while ago. iPhone 11.
Jemma: Great. Now, there are three apps that I'm going to show you today. Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. We'll start with Insta.
John: I think I've heard of this one! Instagrandma...is that where you get a free grandma?
Jemma: No, it's a place to share photos and videos. Click on the little camera icon. Wait, do you know what a camera looks like? Nevermind. It should say Instagram under it.
Peggy: Hey, cool! I think I'll name myself Peggy_the_cinnamonroll.
John: I'm John_the_turtle!
Theo: I'm Theo-10-dosia!
Jemma: I don't have an account, since my parents don't like me on social media, but I can just not sign in to take a look at some stuff. What you do is take a photo or video, then post it with a short description! You can also use face filters.
Philip: Look, I'm a dog!
Susan: Mommy can we take a picture together?
Maria: Alright, but you're too young to have an account. Just use your phone for games.
Susan: Ok. Mommy look how pretty we are! Should I post it?
Maria: I'm not sure I want everyone to know who I am, though.
Jemma: You can make a private account! Here, let me show you. Now the only people you choose can see it.
Maria: That's cool. Susan, you can post it now!
Eliza: Look at all these photos of food.
Jemma: That's called Foodie Insta.
Eliza: I just baked some fresh bread, let me see if anyone likes to see bread. *click*
King George: Samuel, are you getting my good side?
Samuel: Yes, your majesty.
Theo: I'm videoing our game of hide and seek! Uh, I found you, Philip!
Philip: Darn it.
Eliza: Put up your mask, Philip.
Philip: But it's hard to run in it!
Eliza: Then don't run.
Alex: I don't get it! It shows there are so many people online, but my picture of the Federalist Papers only has 3 views!
Eliza: Look, I have a few hundred hearts and a few hundred views on my picture of bread!
Alex: Ugh...why???
Herc: Laff, what are you taking a picture of? It's hard to hold this pose!
Laff: Um, nothing. *Posts a picture of Herc as a unicorn* (Oh god, that picture is stuck in my head now)
Washington: These nature photos aren't bad. Not too many views, but some people like them.
Peggy: Schuyler Sister pic! *click* Backyard social distance pic! *click* Me and John pic! *click* John as a turtle pic! *click*
Angelica: Peggy, slow down! You have pretty much your whole life to use Instagram!
Jefferson: I created a hate Hamilton filter!
Burr: How? I want it, stat.
Jefferson: See, you hack into the filters like this, or wait. James, what was it?
James: Here. Achoo!
Alex: Hey! What does it look like? Let me see it!
Washington: Be nice, gentlemen.
Jemma: I think we're done here. See you next time on Hamilton Reacts to 2020! Bye!
Everyone except for Burr, Alex, and Jefferson: Bye!!!
Eliza: Alexander, no fighting! Be a good example!
