Why do athiests etc made new term 'social media' when the internet is that from the start?

[†Archangel TJâ€]

Why reinvent a new phrase for the same thing? The internet is a network for exchanging all kinds of data from peer to peer or broadcast. That is 'social' and is exchanging 'media'. So why athiests and the like make up this new term 'social media'?

[Marc Antoine Muret]

Isn't social media, like, letters and stuff?

Newspapers = media.

Letters =paper. News PAPER

FACTMATE!

First off, who coined the term "social media?" If you can't answer that question first, the your question is invalid.

New terms that are not useful do not get used.

Even if someone cannot see the utility of a term, if it is getting used then it is useful.

[Namenlos]

You have no idea what you're talking about...

[daicactus]

Etymology isn't your strong point, is it? Oh, by the way, try and use a dictionary to look up "atheist".

[Carym]

Is that a surprise? I think not!

They've also polluted real Science under the banner of Evolution!

[Are You Sure?]

Troll smarter, not harder.

[Christian in Jesus]

You are imagining too much again.

Why atheists?

Are you such a BAD Christian that you simply post false claims and persecution towards them?

The term "Social media" is not just the internet but covers mobile phones and all the other media!

Why do you not try a little research before posting?

Why do you not seek pastoral help to seek how to discover the belief in the loving god and most importantly how to start behaving as if you believed in him?!
