The Human Web

Also known as Six degrees of separation. It refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth. I find this extremely fascinating and slightly crazy!The world seems so big yet is very small.How often do you hear someone say, I wish I knew someone in that industry or firm or group, well, if there's someone you want to meet, put the six degrees to work! No one is "out of reach".
