Networks can take many forms and functions in the audio it states that there are multiple networks and “We have networks like transportation networks, Manufacturing networks, Communication networks, and Energy networks Anna Nagurney, The Science-Spanning Disciplines.” and different functions on the way we use them. For example, she stated that an example of how many people use the GPS and rely on it to get to work which is a lot also talking about all the different paths that are given to people to take the quickest route. I feel like without these different networks we would all be in shambles. I know if I didn’t have my phone easily telling me the quickest way to get to an amusement park or even getting to school I wouldn’t be able to maneuver but thanks to people networking apps that make it easier for people to travel and without networks the world wouldn’t be able to run just due to the fact of how everything becomes easy to do with them.
The internet is one of the biggest networks up to date and has over millions of sites and answers and one of the biggest internet networks is google and in the reading, they stated it was “The poster child of early network thinking is Google, whose phenomenal success is rooted in its algorithm that uses the topology of the Web to rank the search results. Today, more than twenty new companies exploit the increasing knowledge of social networks, with applications from discovering business contacts to dating services.ALBERT-LÁSZLÓ BARABÁSI”. This was definitely not a shocker I use google every day I don’t know what I would do without it, I write my papers using there writing app or program, I use there maps just because it’s so accurate and it never lets me down, I have a professional email using their platform and if it was to magically disappear a lot of people wouldn’t know what to do especially college and high school students all we know is google and the internet and technology.

Agreed about GPS on phones. It has become hard to remember just how we managed to get around driving or walking without having a device tell us how to get there. Some people think that Google IS the Internet. This is funny, but if you suddenly could not use it, it would probably slow you down a great deal.
