Social Media

2. Long before it became the commercialized mass
information and entertainment juggernaut it is today, long
before it was accessible to the general public, and certainly
many years before Al Gore claimed he “took the initiative
in creating” it, the Internet – and its predecessors – were a
focal point for social interactivity. Granted, computer
networking was initially envisioned in the heyday of The
Beatles as a military-centric command and control scheme.
But as it expanded beyond just a privileged few
hubs and nodes, so too did the idea that connected
computers might also make a great forum for
discussing mutual topics of interest, and perhaps
even meeting or renewing acquaintances with other
humans. In the 1970s, that process began in earnest.
3. Social Media in the 20th
Century
Technology began to change very
rapidly in the 20th Century. After the first
super computers were created in the
1940s, scientists and engineers began to
develop ways to create networks
between those computers, and this
would later lead to the birth of the
Internet.
The earliest forms of the Internet,
such as CompuServe, were developed in
the 1960s. Primitive forms of email were
also developed during this time. By the
70s, networking technology had
improved, and 1979’s UseNet allowed
users to communicate through a virtual
newsletter.
