History of Facebook
Okay kiddo, you remember how we like to talk to our friends and family on the phone or through text messages, right? Well, back in 2004, a guy named Mark Zuckerberg and his friends at Harvard University decided they wanted to create a website that would let people connect with their friends and share pictures and messages.
They called it "Thefacebook" and it quickly became popular with college students. Within a year, it had spread to other schools across the country and even some international universities.
As more and more people joined, Thefacebook added new features like groups, events, and the ability to poke your friends (which was just a way to say hello).
In 2006, Facebook opened up to anyone with an email address and the website continued to grow. People started using it to reconnect with old friends, stay in touch with family members, and even make new friends.
Over the years, Facebook has introduced more new features like video calls, live streaming, and marketplace where users could buy and sell things. They also acquired other popular apps like Instagram and WhatsApp.
Now, Facebook has over two billion active users around the world and it continues to be an important way for people to stay connected with each other.
