However this could be count as the new as you keep up with the trending stories of the week and sometimes it could be personal news. The first know  website to use a form of social networking was Classmate.com this was a website which allowed to try and reunite we friends from high school and college or add friends from work or the US military. Most popular website used for social networking is Facebook as it is claimed that they have over 908 million user on Facebook and I must say I am one of these user of Facebook, and the closest one to them it twitter which has just has over half as many Facebook user on the website, with more and more people using the internet to try and stay in contact with each other you can only see the number of people on these website growing.

Mobile phone can be count as online services as more and more people are using the mobile phone for online service a could example would be twitter or facebook again or maybe YouTube if you capture a life changing event on your phone. Once again this also could be count as news as my website now has a mobile phone format to allow the user of the phone to use it. Many early phones were just plain used for making other calls to people but now with people using their phone for work such as making sure backups have run smoothly through the night. The first phone to allow it customer to use the internet was the nokia 7110, other this phones have been getting smart and quicker at using the internet some people even jailbreak their phone to allow them for more access on their phone. Again just like social networking the people using the internet on there is going to increase this might be a good thing as it allow people to report on it first.  I don’t use to using my phone for going onto the internet but now I have a smartphone and tend to the use the internet a lot more know.

Roughly about 405 million people having an account with Skype. It was started in 2003 and has been owned by eBay and Microsoft. As more and more people are moving a way for better jobs in other countries this could only mean that the number of Skype account would increase.  I do have a Skype account but I fairly new to Skype and haven’t used it that much.

History of Email

The first type of electronic mail was back in the mid 19 century and this was done by Morse code. The early emails were only sending messages to the same computer. In 1972 a man called Ray Tomlinson was credited for inventing the email-however many people believe that the email evolved to keep up with technology- while working for Bolt Beranek and Newman as a contractor. In 1974 the Military where using the email, by the late 70s early 80s the growth of personal computers lead to many more people creating email technologies, this was achieved by using the dial up systems. Since 1995 the email and the internet how being shaping the way we communicate with other people online.   

Now days email still plays a big part in people life at least 294billion emails are sent every day whoever 90 per cent of this is spam or viruses, the first spam massage was sent in 3 may 1974. With this have led to people trolling/flaming each other this is when people send a message with an angry or antagonist comments, the terms was given to describe an heat email discussions. Now days more people are using twitter, facebook and other social media to keep in contact with each other which has led a decrease of people using their emails.
 
One way people trick other people into give personal detail is be phishing, this is when some pose as a legitminty company, this is suppose to trick the person giving their personal information such as bank details and credit card numbers. They gain the trust of the client by using actual company logos, However many people realize this a trick as they don’t have a account with this company, but this can work with large groups of people as some people might actual have an account with the company.
