To Understand Is To Perceive Patterns

INSPIRATION:

The Imaginary Foundation says "To Understand Is To Perceive Patterns"...

Albert-László Barabási, author of LINKED, wants you to think about NETWORKS:

“Networks are everywhere. The brain is a network of nerve cells connected by axons, and cells themselves are networks of molecules connected by biochemical reactions. Societies, too, are networks of people linked by friendships, familial relationships and professional ties. On a larger scale, food webs and ecosystems can be represented as networks of species. And networks pervade technology: the Internet, power grids and transportation systems are but a few examples. Even the language we are using to convey these thoughts to you is a network, made up of words connected by syntactic relationships.”

'For decades, we assumed that the components of such complex systems as the cell, the society, or the Internet are randomly wired together. In the past decade, an avalanche of research has shown that many real networks, independent of their age, function, and scope, converge to similar architectures, a universality that allowed researchers from different disciplines to embrace network theory as a common paradigm.'

NBC Fires Employee Over 'What’s The Internet' Video

1994: NBC 'What Is The Internet, Anyway?'

"NBC doesn’t like to look ignorant, even if it’s totally understandable. By now many of us have seen the 1994 “Today” show video where Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel ask what the “internet” is. Even though the video is 17 years old, NBC didn’t see the humor, and reportedly fired the employee who uploaded it. They also pulled many of the videos off the net. However, as of this writing you can still check it out after the break, and marvel at how the internet has changed the world so much so fast."
