Social networks have affected Americans for a long time. Since the creation of the Internet, many social networking sites have arisen and started influencing us. Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and AOL have had the greatest impact on Americans. All these websites lead to an increase in cyberbullying.

Later in 1962, Steven Russell and MIT created the first computer game “Spacewar Computer Game”. Two years later, Douglas Engelbart was the one who invented the mouse and Windows. This was an important invention because now many people were able to use computers easily and, in that time period, faster.

This shows that social media could be very dangerous because many people could start looking at your information and stalk you.
