A substantial amount of research on SNS have reported three stages of its
applications (Zohoorian-Fooladi & Abrizah, 2013) namely; early stages (demarcate
what type of SNS should be adopted); intermediary levels (explain that how SNS
should be used) and; late periods (define issues attached with the adoption of SNS).
Likewise, Colaliacovo (2015) provided three eras of the emergence of SNS; 1)
primitive; 2) medieval and; 3) golden period. The history of SNS indicates that it:
use started with the advent of web 2.0 technologies. However, individuals with <
moderate level of technology skills can build knowledge repositories on these sites.
A detailed historical timeline is provided in Figure 1, displaying the emergence of
different kinds of SNS.

the participants (62.69%, n=242) were in the age group of 26-30 years.

It is further observed that a small number of students (5.69%, n=22) use SNS for
playing different games.
