We looked into social networking, the first thing that pops into your mind is Facebook or Myspace, but we quickly discovered there was a lot more to it then that, you have to consider all the different websites and software and hardware involved and we discovered that this technology has quickly evolved over the past 20 years.
First we came up with as many social networking media as possible, these included; Facebook, Myspace, Skype, Flickr, Online gaming, Spotify, even phones and texting services.
These mostly link to sites such as Youtube and Google maps which use geotagging and embeded urls to work seamlessly with other sites.
The hardware we use to utilise these applications are things such as Computers, Mobile phones, Games consoles,TVs and even sat navs.
15 years ago none of this would have been possible and it made me realize how dependent we are upon modern technology to communicate and plan our day-to-day lives.
