Discover where social media came from, how it became integral to our everyday lives, and how that has changed the way we communicate.
Description
Social media and online communication dominate our daily lives in an unprecedented manner. Wireless connectivity, mobile devices and wearable technologies mean that social media is always on, always part of everyday life for billions of people across the world.
