How will a global communications network change human life?
A network is traditionally defined as an interconnected system of people or things. Networks are all around us, and even inside us. The veins transporting blood around your body, your computer, your city, even your brain is nothing but one massive network of billions of neurons. The word network is used to describe systems that end up much larger than the sum of their parts. In our wired 21st century society, the idea of the network has taken on a profound new meaning.
