Social media is everywhere now, right? In 2025, over 5.4 billion folks were scrolling, posting, and oversharing - like breakfast pics and all kinds of stuff. But it all started way back, before Instagram selfies and TikTok dances, with simple text and dial-up sounds. Yeah, those were the days!
Back in 1978, BBSs (that’s bulletin board systems) let people share files and chat on glowing green screens. Then Usenet popped up with groups talking about everything under the sun. Fast-forward to 1997, and SixDegrees showed us how to make profiles and friends lists online. It was the OG social media!
The 2000s brought social media into everyone’s homes. Friendster kicked things off in 2002, and MySpace let you customize your page to look as wild as you wanted (okay, maybe a little TOO wild). Then came Facebook in 2004, starting at Harvard but quickly becoming the globe’s favorite way to stalk - uh, connect with - friends.
