The theoretical part will provide us with the information background related to this issue. The internet is practically the main building block for social networks, which is why we will describe their nature, history, and development on both topics. We will focus more deeply on social networks, which we will divide into certain types. We will also describe the content they present, along with their functions and potential problems associated with them, also we will mention the most popular social networks of today. The practical part consists of set goals and hypotheses for the research. Empirical research was in the form of a questionnaire survey. The data obtained from the total number of 406 respondents were further evaluated, commented on, and used in the development of already determined goals. The sample was made up of social network users of all ages.
