ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Internet social network

An internet social network is like a big playground where lots of people can meet and play together, but instead of being outside, it's all on the computer! When you sign up for a social network, you create a profile that tells others all about you, and then you can connect with other people who are also on the social network.

There are lots of different social networks, like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Each one has its own special features, but they all help you meet lots of people and share pictures and messages with them. It's a great way to play with your friends and also meet new friends from all over the world!

But like real playgrounds, you need to be careful too. You should always be kind and respectful to others on the social network, and you shouldn't share anything that you wouldn't want everyone to see. Plus, you always need to ask your parents first before joining any social network or adding new friends. But as long as you follow the rules and have fun, internet social networks can be a great way to play with others and make new friends!
