 * FUNCTION: How do social networks work? What is the purpose of social networks? How does social network addiction work?**

**SYNTHESIS** Social networks are very easy to manage and have lots of things to do just like upload photos, play games, meet people and chat. These sites usually work by creating a user at the network and then you can do lowdes of thing on it as i all ready mention. The uses of a social network had marked a lot of different in the way of communicating each other. Although social networking its not that good at all, because if you dont use your time wisely, it can became an addiction. But how can you become an addict? well, if you start using these sites a lot without wanting to stop its a symtom, another syntom is getting angry if anybody tries to disconnect you from it, also the need to be checking your blackberry, smartphone or computer to see if you got new things at it. So using a social network can be great but you have to use it well.

= The purpose of social networks- valeria- 20 may 2011 =

lately social nerking sites have become a famous way to chat, play, reiunite with people and share things, but the purpose of social networking sites is not only for conecting with friend and family, playing games, sharing things and make new friends, but also social networking sites can help people to create their own buissnes, to work and buissness promotion. Now days lot of buissness use them to promote or contact clients.

How this works! -Vera 17 may 2011

This works when someone discovers a social network, they start using it, each time more and more, until there's possibilities that the person becomes addicted and can't stop using it. The person that has this addiction problem, most of time get mad when someone talk to him/her, her/he want's to be alone and want's to do everything by his own! This is why then that person began to separate from the family and outside life! This works like it is, because most of people do it for keeping in touch with everybody, for play games, chat etc.

The United States created the ARPA, later DARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) for the further reasearch of the SAGE (Semi Authomatic Ground Environment) wich was networking in country-wide radars for the very first time. The IPTO's mision was to find a way of solving the US military worry: the survival of their communication networks, and the first step was to interconnect thir computers at the Pentagon, Cheyenne Mountain,and Strategic Air Command headquarters. That evolved into the Internet. The Internet is a protection system f rom the US to mantein their military computers connected in case there is a military attack or destruction of one or more of their connections. Now day's, it's a global network connecting millions of computers. More than a 100 country's are linked into exchanges of data, news and opinions. Oh, and important thing, Internet is NOT a synonymous of World Wide Web.

= Laura - 9 May 2011 - PRIOR KNOWLEDGE = = = I think social networks work obviously with a software and a code but a side that, it works by people making accounts on them and using them for what they want. There is no definite purpose in social networks, they just have some aplications you use how you want, anyway, i think it may have a purpose, like making clients happy. In my opinion, each social network have different porpuses, like Skype objective is to make calls and video calls to other people in different parts of the world. I think social network addiction is when someone spend too much time in a social network.
