Exchange of information
In this video Wander Jager explains that information is spreading differently through social networks than a virus. Moreover, hubs may be followed by many people, but they don’t follow back, indicating that links are “directed”. Additionally, norms play a role in networks, and also norms operate differently on a network than the spreading of a virus.
In which situations do you usually follow the norm, and in which situations do you (sometimes) deviate from the norm? How do you feel when you are deviating from the norm?
Please share this in the discussion section and discuss with other learners.
