SOCIAL NETWORKING 4
Introduction
In the earlier generations, interaction and information exchange were characterized by
different features to the one present today. Do you know people once relied on smoke, horn-
blowing, or drum beating to communicate? How correct could be the interpretation of the
message in transit? How reliable is it in reaching masses of intended recipients?
These challenges motivated innovation in the information and communication sector.
Evolution of technology and availability of information in computing and system development
led to the development of social networks. Social networks are the websites or applications
embedded in the internet allowing interaction over the internet (Newman, 2016). These social
networks include applications like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, among others in the list that
enables interaction of friends, family members, and co-workers. With the technology available, it
is convenient and reliable to hold meeting over via the internet.
