Social media refers to digital platforms that allow individuals to publish content, share files and opinions, interact socially, and express themselves to meet and connect with others. Some of the earliest examples of social media include cave paintings from 17,300 years ago found in the Lascaux Caves in France, which primarily depicted large animals known to have lived at that time. Modern social media platforms enable sharing of content online through unique IP addresses that identify each computer connected to the internet.
