Mfarhanonline Social Media News: Instagram ‘s latest developments have been turned into an amusing animation that pokes fun at impatient Android users, Millennials’ fascination with the photo-sharing app and cynical camera owners of a previous generation. The animation comes on the heels of co-founder Kevin Systrom announcing at South by Southwest on Sunday that an Android app for Instagram will be unleashed “ very soon .” Next Media Animation , a Taiwanese company known for creating funny and sometimes offensive animations that focus on current events, used the SXSW news to visually portray how Android users (including myself) feel about the still iOS-only app: Hurry up, Instagram. The 95-second video also recounts a bit of Instagram history, saying, “The name Instagram is a derivative of Instamatic, a popular line of cameras manufactured by Kodak starting in the 1960s.” SEE ALSO: Jason Mraz Picks Instagram Contest's Best Snapshots PICS Instagram , which came out in 2010, has been downloaded 27 million times.
