A Brief History:
Origination: Social media is much older than the internet: in a way, can be traced back to May 24, 1844, when a sequence of electronic signals was manually transmitted via a telegraph machine. Samuel Morse’s first electronic message from Baltimore to Washington, D.C., demonstrated his awareness of the significance of his scientific breakthrough as he wrote, “What hath God wrought?”

Social Media Since the Internet: During the 1980’s and 1990’s the expansion of the internet facilitated the emergence of online communication platforms like CompuServe, America Online, and Prodigy. These platforms familiarized users with digital communication through features such as email, bulletin board messaging, and real-time online chatting. The internet also prospered as chatting became popular in the DALnet IRC Network, and chats popped up in the form of pop-up window applet and Java sidebars all over the place while online doing downloads on peer-to-peer networks and elsewhere online.

Most Recently on Social Media: The current social media environment is filled with a variety of platforms vying for the engagement of over 5 billion mobile device users globally. Below is a summary of the leading social media networks in 2020. Here is an example of what media Versatileer is on when it comes to social media. So many, that I cannot even make it to all them.
