There are supposedly six degrees of separation within each individual. For every person on this Earth, there are six steps away from the other person. The patterns will extrapolate for years to come with social media companies like Facebook and Twitter. This means that everyone in the world is connected whether he or she likes it or not. This collection of acquaintances, friends, and family are good for communication, and keeping in touch with each other. There are hundreds of inter-connected patterns for person, from marriage, friendships, and other sources of ties. Mostly all of the academic,statistical, and mathematical theories have been positive. Experts in the field of the structure of social networks subsequently constructed hypothetical simulations with various data. They came up with multiple ideas on the actual degrees of separation. Everyone seems to make this into a grand scheme that everyone knows everyone. There is a hidden danger with the connectedness of individuals. Identity thefts, and other sources of digitally based criminal offenses. There is to much going on at once. The group of individuals can easily tip into something completely different. We can think of the group as new properties coming from networking. The structure of the network can be seen as carbon . For example, the difference between graphite and a diamond is the arrangement of carbon atoms. One arrangement leads to graphite, which is a dark and soft compound. When you take the same carbon atoms, and rearrange the atoms you get a diamond. Those properties differ from the interconnections of the carbon atoms. You can have a have the same source, but how you rearrange the connections directly alters the outcome. If a group of people want to protest outside of Washington D.C., they can like a same group of people can hold a peace protest outside of Woodstock, New York. It’s all based on how we choose to arrange our common thread. There is an infinite amount of potential in numbers, but they all need a solid common purpose. It’s a very thin string that connects everyone together. That same string can easily be torn with one person out of place. When people mob,protest, or even bully they do it in numbers. It’s never one person alone handling all the tasks. It’s easy to find people that have a similar agenda to formulate a group.
