ideas, thoughts, and information through the building of virtual networks and
communities. By design, social media is internet-based and gives users

via computer, tablet or smartphone via web-based software or web
application, often utilizing it for messaging.

of what is becoming or appropriate for a person of good breeding: a fine
sense of decorum.
