SOCIAL NETWORKING

A network is defined as “a group or system of interconnected
people or things.” It is like an invisible thread that connects
you with your family, friends, and relatives. In the computer
world, a network is a group of two or more computers
connected by physical or wireless connections.

You must have heard people using the terms like a social
person, a social butterfly, etc. A social person or being
social is often used for those who like to be around people
or who are friendly with everyone. They like to go to parties
and spend time with people.

When we combine the two terms social and network, we get social networking. It refers to a website
or web-based application through which one can create a profile and get acquainted with other users.
