            Apart from communication, Internet also provides some advanced features such as social networking,

                 SOCIAL NETWORKING


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

            You must have heard people use 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.
            These sites let us create profiles and maintain personal and professional relationships online.

            Social Media, on the other hand, is a means to communicate and share information with a vast audience
            through websites. You can publish images, videos, etc. and attract followers. The purpose of such sites
            is to create buzz and curiosity among the public directly or indirectly. Some examples are YouTube,
            television and newspaper.

            Let us understand the different types of social media with how we post or write messages on the
            different apps. You are making a sculpture. You want to let people know about it. This is how you will
            post your message on different apps.
               Twitter: I am making a sculpture.

               Facebook: I like sculptures.
               Quora: Why I am making sculptures?
               YouTube: This is a video of me making a sculpture.
