Editor's Notes
19/08/2008 The six degrees of seperation is now three Six degrees of separation has fallen to three due to the impact of social networking and developments in technology, according to a study carried out by O2. http://www.o2.com/media/press_releases/latest_pr_14276.asp O2 commissioned social organisational specialist Jeff Rodrigues to examine the impact of technology on how connected people are. The research included over 50 hours of in-depth interviews with adults across three different age groups, (18-25, 35-45, 55+) and found that the conventional notion of six degrees of separation is out of date. The term was coined by US psychologist Stanley Milgram following a 1967 experiment. The six degrees theory was upheld in a 2006 Microsoft study of instant messenger conversations. However, the O2 study reveals that within a shared ‘interest’ network (i.e. hobbies, sport, music, religion, sexuality etc), the average person is connected by just three degrees.
