Unit 1: Social Networks (1ère Générale)

Social Media Timeline

Our set of documents is composed of two graphs published in 2019 and one social media timeline, published in 2024.

We have learned that Facebook was created in 2004. Every year, there has been an increase of users. Nowadays, more than 2 billion of users are active on this platform.

According to these documents, the most popular social media platforms have been Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp and Instagram.

Generally, young adults, aged 25 to 29 prefer to use Facebook for their social interactions. On another hand, younger people, students, aged 18 to 24, prefer to use Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat. Unlike the older generation (aged 50+) who are using Facebook more than Snapchat. In fact, they might find Facebook as being more convenient to share personal information with friends and family. On top of that, it is easier to follow the news on this platform. However, Snapchat is mainly made to send instant messages that is more convenient for younger people.

Besides, Facebook was one of the first social networks that was created that is the reason why, the very first users are still using it nowadays.
