Communication In The 1950's
We humans always love to be in a group, and for that we need to communicate to others to tell them about us and it is an important aspect of our survival.
Communication has evolved a lot and it has come a long way from what it was once, but the most drastic changes came in the last 50 – 60 years.
Communication has changed from people struggling to communicate over long distances to now we can virtually talk to anyone at any corner of the Earth.
But it was not the same always, during 1950’s and 60’s was the era of revolution of communication i.e. such as telephonic answering machines created by Bell Laboratories and Western Electronics. Even though it was not affordable for most of the people and telephonic communication was also not

It was also a favourite activity of people to dedicate some time from their weekly or daily routine to writeto their dear ones.
Even though the way of communication is much faster and comfortable now, but if even now we ask someone from that era, we won’t find a single person who would say that they didn’t enjoy receiving a letter through the post.
Knowing that someone had taken time to write a letter for you is itself a very special felling, it might not be an important news, but it feels so personal to receive a letter from someone.

Harvard Crimson facemash attracted 450 visitors and 22,000 photo views in its first four hours online.
This revolution started on February 4, 2004 and the website was limited to
Harvard students only, but later on as its popularity increased it was expanded to other universities and finally on September 2006, everyone above the age of
13 with a valid email id could access Facebook. Facebook was becoming popular very fast and in between all this Sean Parker became the president of facebook; and all this led to the rift between Mark and his friend Eduardo, and he also took the matter into the court.
These all factors didn’t affected the popularity of facebook and it kept on growing and once a time came that when someone says social media it had became synonymous with facebook. Facebook in itself is a world of poking, tagging, likes and status updates. Yet the beauty of facebook or the thing
