We are all connected …

October 18th, 2010 @ 4:23 pm by Marnie

We all know the saying “it’s a small world”. Well, exactly how small is it? There is a so-called “urban myth” that we are all connected by “six degrees of separation”, which theorizes that:

I know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows you!

Six of one…half a dozen of another…

Six Pixels of Separation…

Well, there I was at the Winnipeg Airport on Friday, (Oct.15, 2010) searching for a resource book about connecting websites to potential customers and a book by Mitch Joel, entitled “Six Pixels of Separation” literally jumped off the shelf into my hand.

In this book, I was introduced to the original “six degrees of separation” theory and I decided to do more research on Google. What I found was absolutely fascinating!!

Six Degrees of Separation…

My Google research led me to a highly acclaimed BBC documentary video “Six Degrees of Separation” which I highly recommend to anyone who is interested how the emerging science of Networking can, and will, affect all aspects of our future, from personal to business.

I invite you to comment back about whether this is as much of an “Aha” discovery for you as it was for me?

  1. This was very interesting. I have heard of this concept before but this video made sense with how this social networking model can be applied to understanding other areas of life. really cool

  2. Yes, I got the same thing from this video, I now see "networks" everywhere in other areas of life.
