Networks

I really enjoyed viewing the drawings we did in class depicting our personal social networks. I found it intriguing that they actually looked like pieces of art, and that they were all so completely unique. I suppose one could compare the different representations in our small class to the many variances in our societal networks in general. No one person’s social network diagram would ever look the same as another person’s portrayal of their network. There are as many opposing viewpoints about social networks on the internet as there are about life itself. What fascinated me about our class drawings is that they were as beautiful as they were complex. Such is the state of the human condition, I suppose. I’d be curious to know a psychiatrist’s interpretation of our masterpieces.
