review 29

How our social networks shape our lives.
1.       Understanding the power of our interconnectedness.
2.       Nature or nurture.
Through the course of our lives certain experiences and certain people shape who you become.
Nurture is our predisposition at birth, nurture refers to how we are influenced by family, friends, and environment.
3.       Everyhting we do is like pebble in a pond.
Our thoughts and beliefs, physical health, happiness and habits, influence others through networks of friends in way that are not entirely understood.
4.       The power of networks.
Some researchers think this is due to the action of mirror neurons, or empathatic mimicry, whereby we unconsciously copy facial expressions, speech patterns, posture, body langueage, and other behaviours of those around us, oten with remarkable speed and accuracy.
5.       Connections in the digital Age.

The internet has allowed the development of new types of connections that were not previously possible.
