Social networks are one of the most popular ways of entertainment and communication today. They are fast, convenient, and easy to use. You can correspond with the interlocutor, talk, and even see him. Social networks are available to everyone at any time of the day. All you need is a computer and an internet connection.
The term "Social Network" was coined in 1954 by Manchester School sociologist James Barnes.
For the first time, a social network appeared in the form of e-mail, carrying out communication between people. This is the first way to communicate through computer networks. Initially, e-mail was intended to exchange information between two persons, but later, thanks to a small change (mailing lists), and entire groups of people were able to communicate with each other. Teleconferences or newsgroups became the next stage in development. Compared to the previous version, this one allowed saving messages that were subsequently available for viewing by each participant in the conference. Also, there is a possibility of a different grouping of messages.
Telecommunications continued to evolve and more and more people began to constantly surf the Internet. As a result of this, a real-time communication service arose - the user received a message from the interlocutor a few seconds after sending it. This service is called Internet Relation Chat (IRC), which means "related communication via the Internet." Inside IRC, communication is carried out using special nodes - channels, united by topic. The social network developers did not have the goal of free, easy communication.
They only tried to facilitate information, communication, and problem-solving of firms, companies, and just working people. But due to the emergence of individual users on the Web, lower prices for telecommunications and equipment, communication became more informal, and communities of people with similar interests and views began to appear. Conversations have become both public and private. Due to the rapid development, social networks have their specialized features: Nickname (English nickname - a nickname) is a formal name for identifying a person. Smilies (English smile - smile) - "faces" that allow you to display emotions in a text message.
A special jargon (abbreviations, communication style) of a specific group of people who are in frequent contact, serving as an identification mark. A freer communication style, because the user is “virtual” - his “name” and personal information are formal. The last and most popular type of social network at the moment is a browser program. It is represented by such well-known portals as twitter.com, facebook.com, and many others.
There are other variations as well: Guestbooks are the first and simplest handicap of web applications. This is a list of messages in descending order by date. Any visitor can leave a message. It often belongs to an individual. Forums are an improved version of teleconferencing. The forum most often belongs to a community and is subdivided into topics. "Etiquette" of a forum means messages that are relevant to the topic that registered users can leave.
Instant Messaging (IM) programs are an improved version of IRC. An example is the Skype program. Blogs are personal diaries of users. The blog and the author's entries in it can be read by all users/users who have “subscribed” to read / or selected readers by the author. Readers can leave their comments too.
