For my research project, I decided to research about the history of social media. I chose this topic because a lot of people use social media today. Also, I thought it would be interesting to see how social media started. While researching for this project, I learned about one of the first social media websites, Six Degrees. Six Degrees was based on the idea that everyone is connected to anyone by just six links.
I also learned about social media websites today use features that were used in social media websites back then. For example, AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) introduced the feature "buddy list" and most social media websites today have some type of buddy or friend list. Overall, I think this assignment helped me realize how much social media has evolved over the years.
