Learning activity 4

Evidence: My presentation outline

A. Find a topic of personal interest. Imagine you are going to present that topic
orally to your teacher and classmates at school. For this part of the evidence
you need to carry out exhaustive research in order to be able to present all the
necessary information related to your selected topic. Report the most important
aspects of your research through a brainstorm of the ideas and concepts that
you think will be relevant to the presentation.

Brainstorm

Example of topic: Aviation.

 Aviation refers to the use of commercial and non-commercial aircrafts

for transportation of people or goods.

 The A380, manufactured by the Airbus Industry, is the biggest plane

ever made.

Brainstorm

Topic: Social networks are internet sites that allow people to connect with
their friends and even make new friendships, ,virtually, and share content,
interact, create communities on similar interests; work, readings, games,
frienships, relationships trade.

Social networking was born one day in 1971, when the first email was sent.
The two computers were sitting right next to each other. The message said
“qwertyuiop’. In 1978, the BBS–or Bulletin Board System, was created. The
BBS hosted on personal computers, where users need to dial in via the
modem of a host computer, and exchanging data through phone lines to
other users. The BBS was the first system that lets users interact with one
another through the internet. It was slow, but it was a good start, and only
one user could log in at a time.
B. Now, structure your presentation using the Signpost language learnt during this
learning activity. Present your outline through presentation cards. Use as many
cards as you need.

Remember: Each presentation card should include a

heading, a phrase at the bottom, a number and it should be
organized by numbering and bulleting.

Social Networks 1)

Origin and Evolution of Social Networks.

The origin of social networks dates back to 1995, when Randy

Conrads created the classmates.com website. With this social
network it is intended that people can recover or maintain contact
with former colleagues of the school, institute or university. In 1997
comes sixdegrees.com, which allows users to create profiles, list of
friends and send messages. From 1997 to 2001, technological
evolution facilitated new tools that allowed websites such as
LiveJournal or the Swedish LunaStorm to be at the forefront and
make their users feel involved. A year later Friendster was born, a
portal to arrange appointments online that enjoyed a success that
was also its ruin (technical difficulties could not cope with the high
demand for services).
2) Types of social networks Types of social networks:

There are two types of social networks that are best known for the way they are
organized and the openness they offer to their audience.

Horizontal social networks

Horizontal social networks are sites that are more open to everyone and do not
have a defined theme. Participation in these virtual spaces is free and their only
purpose is to share with others.

As an example of these social platforms we have Facebook that does not have a
central theme and the audience is totally varied, there is also Orkut in Brazil,
Identi.ca, Twitter and Tuenti in Spain.

Vertical social networks

Compared to horizontal social networks, these websites are dedicated to specific

topics, around which users come together to form an online thematic community.
They are more closed spaces. Thematic social networks are diverse, but we can
name some known categories:

social networks types linkedinSocial social networks. Its purpose is to help grow
professional connections among users. For example, Viadeo, Xing, LinkedIn.

3) Conclusión

Social networks are one of the most striking phenomena of a new

communication philosophy, where millions of people intervene daily. The
increase in the number of users in the most recent years is also striking. If we
ask ourselves what this intense interactive online transfer is, the answer can be
simple. Man has an innate need to communicate with others, the computer can
be a perfect tool to unite people from different parts of the world and, however,
with common interests. Social networks also located in mobile telephony,
complement it, as happens with email and other traditional communication
systems, consequently, social networks have become digital platforms for
interpersonal interaction.
