Unit 1: Social Networks (1ère G_gr1)

Social Networking Times

The documents under study are two graphs and a timeline about the evolution of social media. The two graphs were published on “Our World in Data Website” in 2019. The timeline was published in 2023 on Social Media Tulsa Website.

We have learned that in 2018, Facebook was the most popular platform. It was created in 2004 and reached a peek in 2010 with more than 500 million users. YouTube was launched in 2005. In 2010 it had 500 million users. Then, in 2018, the number of users went over 1.5 billion subscribers. Instagram was created in 2010. It reached 1 billion users in 2018. 75% of people between 18 and 24 years are using Instagram. We can notice that social media users are mostly young people aged between 18 and 30 years old. Nevertheless, seniors are more present on Facebook with 46% of subscribers.

To conclude, these platforms all have an impact on our daily lives and are a sort of market place therefore they have an impact on the economic level as well.

Homework: Learn the lesson.
