Social networking refers to the use of online platforms that allow individuals to create profiles, connect with others, share content, and engage in social interactions through digital means. These platforms enable users to build networks of friends, colleagues, or like-minded people and communicate, collaborate, and share information in a virtual space. Social networking has become an integral part of our daily lives, influencing communication, business, entertainment, and even politics.
For BTech students, understanding social networking goes beyond just using these platforms for socializing—it’s also about how these platforms operate, the underlying technologies, and how they impact modern society, business, and computing.
