"Social Media" the modern evolution of the older technologies of BBSes, USENET, Forums, etc. etc. etc. Layered on top of either the Internet or the World Wide Web.

(2/3, oops) Conflating the Social Media, the World Wide Web, and the Internet in various forms and combinations.
"The Internet" - around since the 70s, in its first modern form in 1981, its second co-existing modern form since 1995-ish.
"The WWW" - a use of the Internet, since 1990.
