1) Origin and Evolution of Social Networks.
The origin of social networks dates back to 1995, when Randy Conrads
created the classmates.com website. With this social network it is
intended that people can recover or maintain contact with former
colleagues of the school, institute or university. In 1997 comes
sixdegrees.com, which allows users to create profiles, list of friends and
send messages.
From 1997 to 2001, technological evolution facilitated new tools that
allowed websites such as LiveJournal or the Swedish LunaStorm to be at
the forefront and make their users feel involved. A year later Friendster
was born, a portal to arrange appointments online that enjoyed a success
that was also its ruin (technical difficulties could not cope with the high
demand for services).

2) Types of social networks
Types of social networks:
There are two types of social networks that are best known for the way
they are organized and the openness they offer to their audience.
Horizontal social networks
Horizontal social networks are sites that are more open to everyone and
do not have a defined theme. Participation in these virtual spaces is free
and their only purpose is to share with others.
As an example of these social platforms we have Facebook that does not
have a central theme and the audience is totally varied, there is also
Orkut in Brazil, Identi.ca, Twitter and Tuenti in Spain.
Vertical social networks
Compared to horizontal social networks, these websites are dedicated to
specific topics, around which users come together to form an online
thematic community. They are more closed spaces. Thematic social
networks are diverse, but we can name some known categories:
social networks types linkedinSocial social networks. Its purpose is to help

3) Importance of Social Networks in society.
Social networks are becoming very important in today's society, reflecting
the need of the human being for expression and recognition, well Aristotle
said "Man is a sociable being by nature", because to meet their physical
and spiritual needs you need to live in society , since being a rational and
individual creature, is not self-sufficient and requires the help and
protection of others of its kind, for that reason it forms communities ". But
what is a Social Network? We could define it as a form of social
interaction, where there is a dynamic exchange between people, groups
and institutions that share tastes or preferences among themselves,
achieving a sense of belonging and developing a fabric that acts for the
welfare of the entire community.
a) Advantages

7. b) Disadvantages
Give freedom to unwanted people who know about all your
movements
Your uploaded images can be used for any purpose
Your life stops being private
You can lose more time pending what happens there than in your
real life.
4) Conclusion
Social networks are one of the most striking phenomena of a new
communication philosophy, where millions of people intervene daily. The
increase in the number of users in the most recent years is also striking. If
we ask ourselves what this intense interactive online transfer is, the answer
can be simple. Man has an innate need to communicate with others, the
computer can be a perfect tool to unite people from different parts of the
world and, however, with common interests. Social networks also located in
mobile telephony, complement it, as happens with email and other
traditional communication systems, consequently, social networks have
become digital platforms for interpersonal interaction. There are those who
suggest that they are part of the individualism of the 21st century, but the
truth is that they can serve to nurture the personal life of users, not only by
expanding professional skills but also with a great capacity to establish numerous
contacts for other purposes.
"In social networks you do not sell, you fall in love"
