Do You Agree
with the Six Degrees
Theory?
As we examined in this issue

University led by Duncan Watts is exploring the "six degrees of

of this theory? Share your vote!

Is It Really a Small World? A group of
sociologists at Columbia University led by Assistance Professor
Duncan Watts is exploring a theory that was discovered in the 1960s
by Dr. Stanley Milgram. The theory "six degrees of separation" has
been used to suggest how every person in the United States is
connected through a chain of approximately six people.
Watts and
his team are taking this to a global scale and using e-mail to test
this theory. The experiment is trying to show how networks
are formed and how they can improve computer networks.
This is a very interesting study, and may have an impact on
how we develop communities in the future. To read articles on the
theory or to participate in the experiment, please feel free to
