SOCIAL NETWORKING

HOW PEOPLE USED TO CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER IN THE PAST WHEN THERE WAS NO

INTERNET AND NO NETWORKING ?

The answer is very simple and we all know is :- Via telephone and meetings.

Earlier business, sharing information, data, files, discussion etc was very difficult but due to the emergence of Internet, it has made our lives easy and convenient.

This was so because everything was done via personal contacts, meetings and all… which means through

face to face personal contacts

BUT TODAY :-

Everything is done over the internet1. Discussions… 2. finding Solutions … 3. Sharing files… 4. information…. 5. Buying/selling of almost everything.We feel connected with our friends, family

members, colleagues, corporate world, and rest of the world via internet only coz its cheap and easily available and accessible.

So the question which arises is how do we connect with these people ?
