Hi everyone,
I enjoyed reading this transcipt about the new science of networks.

The New Science of Networks
Saturday 8 January 2005
Summary
Q: What do Hollywood actor Kevin Bacon, a North American firefly, Al Qaeda and the World Wide Web all have in common?
A: Each of them organise themselves in a network.
Annamaria Talas wrote and produced this Science Show special on the new science of networks; the connectedness of nearly everything, which began with Duncan Watts, an Australian PhD student from Cornell University, and is set to change our understanding of the world.

Interested to hear people's views on how networks fits within a systems thinking/systems dynamic paradigm.

Cheers
Michael
