6 degrees.

habang nakasakay kami ni johnine sa jeep naguusap kami tungkol sa six degrees of separation. six degrees of separation - ang pinakasimpleng definition nito ay pwede ka ma-connect sa kahit kaninong tao sa mundo (deceased or alive) on an average six steps. Dahil dito nagka-idea ng shrinking world. "It's a small world after all." Anyway, enough for the background. Naisip ko kung nag-aaply ba talaga yun in all cases. Halimbawa may mga cave men. Siguro nga six steps away ka sa kanila kaso hindi sila six steps away from you. Pwede mo sila makikilala via books, magazines, and other forms of media. Pwede wala silang information kung sino ka talaga. Dun palang parang naputol na ung network. Basta pwede atang gawing counterargument yung mga taong hindi masyado nagclicling sa modern civilization halimbawa yung mga ethnic groups. One thing is for sure: the world is becoming smaller.
