Which Networking Law do I agree with?

The law that I agree with the most is Reed’s Law, which states that the utility of a network with n members increases exponentially. In other words, the networks focus more on the multiple individual relationships a user has than one user’s link to another. It focuses more on social networks, which consists of several social media options and people who use them. Instant messaging is a recent thing, so it’s more accurate to today’s networking than the Metcalfe’s and Sarnoff’s Laws. The other laws only focus on statistics and ratings like one would when working on television. Reed’s law acknowledges that connections between users should be viewed from more of a qualitative perspective than a quantitative one. In other words, Reed’s Law seems to draw attention to the sociality of networking than the statistical aspect. Since networking nowadays is more about personal and work relationships than how many people one is able to contact (which was an amazing feat back when the internet was developed), Reed’s Law is a better representation of networking. In Five years, I doubt things will change. People claim that it’s a bad thing that people only communicate online or by text. I personally think it’s a double-edged sword. While people have become more prone to interacting with others without physically being around them, the Internet has given people an opportunity to connect with potential friends from around the globe. Soon texting won’t be enough; phones won’t be enough; screens won’t be enough, and the replacements/improvements will never truly stop. We’re becoming more comfortable with speaking to machines, whether it’s to other people or with artificial intelligence like Cleverbot. It’s not viewed as strange or crazy, and neither does speaking into or typing a device to a person several miles away. There have actually been fairly recent news about Japan developing and selling automatons with the intelligence of kindergarteners. The people who I told the news to hardly batted an eye since they’re used to technological advances having close ties to social interaction. There are more examples, of course, due to our interest in creating life in…less than conventional ways. It will become more common the more we learn and more willing we are to take risks.
