networks and their importance to society

Again a video from TED.com other such wonders where Nicholas Christakis tells us how social networks (the people, not tools like Twitter or Facebobok) explain epidemics such as obesity, happiness or sadness. We are social beings, beings who create networks. Even our genes are responsible position within the networks, whether central or peripheral, as our character determines the connections between those who are online. All properties of society that can not be explained by observing individuals emerge from the networks are emergent properties. Our emotions show for infecting them, we also want to create networks of emotions. The human being finds great benefits by creating networks, at least a number of advantages that outweigh the disadvantages of relating. Another video to enjoy.
