The Birth of Social Networks: Connecting the World (B2)

Have you ever wondered how social networks came to be? Today, platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are part of our daily lives, but they didn’t always exist. Let’s take a journey through time to discover how social networks were born and how they’ve changed the way we communicate.

The Early Days of the Internet

To understand the birth of social networks, we need to go back to the early days of the Internet. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Internet was mainly used by scientists and researchers to share information. It wasn’t until the 1990s that the World Wide Web became available to the public.

As more people got access to the Internet, they started looking for ways to connect with others online. This led to the creation of early online communities and forums where people could discuss their interests.
