Summary/Abstract: The web in recent years has gradually undergone a profound change. This rapid change that has taken place in recent years has affected the disruption of the Internet as an informal center and information dissemination structure by isolating the user into personalized and centralized information. The launch of the World Wide Web began to look like the biggest threat to television, because the network of those days did not look like television, so it was text-based, decentralized, interactive, and diversified. Though he did not annihilate traditional television, he stopped his rapid growth for nearly two decades. Social media platforms changed this reality. With the spread of smart phones since the beginning of 2010, social media began to dominate the time people spent on the Internet. While the internet started imitating the book and for a time was dominated by text, it was an online book, with the development of digital cameras and photos, videos and driving images that made the Internet transform from Internet-book to Internet – television. This paper deals with the role of social networks in transforming the text-based web to-visual-based web. The paper also discusses how social networks have influenced centralization of information, creation of different groups, profiling of readers.
