Social networks

this week, we learned about social networks as something.

first, social networks as science..

social network analysis is an interdisciplinary social science, but has been of especial concern to sociologists;
recently, physicists and mathematicians have made large contributions to understanding networks in general (as graphs) and thus contributed to an understanding of social networks too

so , i think that networks are part in science..

next social networks as technology

email, newsgroups, and weblogs in the design of the arpanet (the forerunner to the internet) email was an afterthought!

fanally social networks as art

so, i think that central factor is important
