1.0 Introduction
1.1 Definition
1.1.1 We live in a world of technology, a world where cell phones, Smart
phones, Android phones, and Touch Screen phones make it easy to
reach someone with the touch of a button. And then there is social
media is websites and applications that enable users to create and
share content or to participate in social networking. Social media
includes popular networking websites, like Facebook, Instagram and
Twitter. Also, social media is an outlet to let people know what is
going on in your world and to find out what’s happening in theirs
1.2 History

1997. It enabled users to upload a profile and make friends with other
users. In 1999, the first blogging sites became popular, creating a
social media sensation that’s still popular today.

image-sharing app in October 2010, but the first photos went

1.3.3 Youtube
1.3.3.1 The website grew rapidly, with almost 20 million monthly
visitors by the summer of 2006. Users could quickly and easily
upload and share video content with friends, and it was an
especially popular outlet for teenagers.
1.3.4 Snapchat
1.3.4.1 Stanford students Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie
Brown came up with the idea for an ephemeral photo app in
2011, but they called it Pictaboo (ever wonder why Snapchat’s
logo is a ghost?) and it never got off the ground. After some
arguments over patents and equity, Spiegel and Murphy gave
Brown the boot and changed the name to Snapchat.
