Visualizing social network

Complexity! While reading this article, it was interesting to see that the same way the methods of reproducing the networking have been evolving, the representation are becoming more complex! In my opinion the relationship might be a two-way process. Either while representing by hands a lot of details were left out that computer representation will point out or the more we are using the different network that are available the more the networks are becoming complex. It might be both actually.

It was also interesting to see that nowadays everything is considered as a network; for instance the nautical food web that we would have certainly previously called a food chain. Even our vocabulary is representing the addiction to networking.
