Discovering the World of Audio Chat Rooms and Video Livestreaming

Book excerpt: There was a time when there was no social media or even mobile phones. A landline phone was the only thing that our ancestors could use to communicate, and discuss a matter with people staying far away from them. At times, the people living in those times also used to write long letters even if they wanted to convey a small message. These letters took several days to reach the person to whom the message was to be conveyed. But, the rapid technological development in the last few decades has transformed the way we communicate, and socialize. In today's world, we use apps for many of the things we do every day, which includes communicating and keeping in touch with our family, and friends. The apps that we use for this purpose are called social apps, or social networking apps. These apps have become an essential part of our day-to-day communication and socialization. People use social apps to communicate with friends and family, meet new people, express their views and opinions, and keep up with current events. On the whole, social apps allow users to interact and engage with others via technology. And as they have become an integral part of our lives, we must have some knowledge about such apps.
