Let’s turn now to the first part: the

early beginnings of 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
3) Importance of Social Networks in society.
Social networks are becoming very important in today's society, reflecting
the need of the human being for expression and recognition, well Aristotle
said "Man is a sociable being by nature", because to meet their physical
and spiritual needs you need to live in society , since being a rational and
individual creature, is not self-sufficient and requires the help and
protection of others of its kind, for that reason it forms communities ". But
what is a Social Network? We could define it as a form of social
interaction, where there is a dynamic exchange between people, groups
and institutions that share tastes or preferences among themselves,
achieving a sense of belonging and developing a fabric that acts for the
welfare of the entire community.

Advantages

- They allow you to meet people, and reconnect with those you had years
without seeing

- It allows you keep up with those people

Disadvantages
-Give freedom to unwanted people who know about all your movements
-Your uploaded images can be used for any purpose

-Your life stops being private

 4) Conclusion 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. There are those who suggest that they are part of
the individualism of the 21st century, but the truth is that they
can serve to nurture the personal life of users, not only by
expanding professional skills but also with a great capacity to
establish numerous contacts for other purposes. "In social
networks you do not sell, you fall in love"
