History of Social Networking

Samiel Morse is credited with inventing the telegraph in 1835. The telegraph allowed for communication through the use of codes. The telegraph was not known very quickly, around the 20th century the use of telegraphfor social exchange, both  formal and informal was widely excepted.  Postal mail was not considered technology itself but it was a communication method back then. Out of all of the technologies the Internet provides social networking. The internet also provides a layer of communication capabilities that can be used for different tools. Things such a E-mail, and Instant Messaging (IM) are applications that have been in existence since the early 1980's. AIM was selected first because it was a world wide chat, The user base was about 4.5 million in 1995.

Such as social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and myspace have been a big distraction for all of us, even adults. These sites allow people to search through other peoples profiles. Users post information about themselves such as education information, favorites, music, links, etc. These social networks list up and organize by what school, or network a friend is affiliated by. Basically these social networks are just ways of letting people into our lives pretty much and letting them know whats going on and around us. If you think about it Social Networks do nothing but cause tension between one another because someone is going to end up jealous. No matter how many times we all say it, we ALL want to snoop around somebody's profile, and be nosy.
