Groups vs. Networks
1 Oct 2006 (Sun)A succinct illustration by Stephen Downes last Monday (see this Google video for his verbal explanation) on the differences between “groups” and “networks”:
“The drawing depicts the often unnoticed assumptions that inform our understanding of groups, inform our sometimes slavish devotion to groups, and shows how these contrast with my own understanding of how interaction ought to occur, in networks. It’s not just a web theory (though it is that), it is a theory about life and society in general.”
