Tiffi is going to give the googling a bit more time and then she wants to do some of what the students have to do so she can share it with Rip when she sees him tomorrow.  

Wow, now she’s getting to the good stuff. All the history on social media!

‘July 5, 1994: Amazon.com is Born (Seattle) - With an initial aim of becoming an online bookstore, Jeff Bezos and a handful of angel investors launch Amazon.com, just as e-commerce is about to take off. In 2020, after expanding from books to the so-called “Everything Store” and growing a business selling cloud services to companies like Netflix and Instagram, Bezos would be the world’s richest man.

Sept. 4, 1998: The Age of Google Begins (Menlo Park, California) - With seed money from Sun Microsystems co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, among others, Stanford University Ph.D. students Larry Page and Sergey Brin launch the search engine Google. The digital advertising behemoth Google Inc., now Alphabet Inc., is a $1.104 trillion company with several subsidiaries, including video-sharing platform YouTube; autonomous-car development company Waymo; and X, the company’s research and development division.

Feb. 4, 2004: Facebook Founded (Cambridge, Massachusetts) - Mark Zuckerberg, a 23-year-old Harvard University student, creates “The Facebook,” a local social networking site named after the orientation materials that profiles students and faculty and given to incoming college freshmen. Sixteen years later, Facebook has become an $843.6 billion digital advertising behemoth so integral to many people’s lives that it has been criticized for helping foreign powers and propagandists influence the U.S. political system.

Jan. 9, 2007: The iPhone (San Francisco) - Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who died in October 2011, first shows the world one of the most popular branded consumer electronic devices in history, the iPhone. Since the first generation phone that Jobs introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show that year, there have been 18 versions of the mobile device, and more than 1.2 billion units have been sold globally through 2017. Only Samsung's Galaxy smartphone comes close to that volume.’ (Source) 

By the time Tiffi makes notes to give to Rip tomorrow she is too exhausted to look at what the students need to do. Time to go to sleep.
