Networks can come in lots of forms whether it be a network of people, ‘networking’ in the sense of getting to know people who will get you in connections with more people; like social networking where people network over social media websites. In order to network, or have a system of interconnected things and people, all those things, or all those people need to be connected in one or some ways. In Anna Nagurney’s podcast ‘The Science-Spanning Disciplines’, she talks about networking and how the applications of networking under different disciplines and what that taught her about networking as a whole. She says that networks are essential to the functioning of today’s society and economy, and are ‘…pervasive in our everyday lives…’ and I agree. The education system itself is a network of individuals who are half educators and half learners. Through this one network a business has formed, jobs have formed, and a source of education has formed. Thus helping people to not only better themselves, have a place in this society for a period of time as a ‘student’ or an ‘educator’ and all the money given and received goes towards providing the exact same for future educators and students.
