Since the early decades of the 21st century, social media has become an important part of our lives. This has brought a big change in the way we behave in society. It is used by people of every class, strata, and profession. Even prominent politicians of the country and world, personalities associated with the film and sports worlds, intellectuals, writers, and famous businessmen also use it. Young people are more interested in it.

Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, Instagram, Tik-Tok, and Snapchat are the major platforms of social media networks. With their help, we can connect with the whole world, make new friends and find old ones just by sitting in the same room.
