Amelia Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Microsoft study confirms 'Kevin Bacon' theory Survey of instant-messagers finds any two people just 6.6 degrees apart By Peter Whoriskey 2 Aug, 2008 The Washington Post WASHINGTON - Turns out, it is a small world. The "small world theory," embodied in the old saw that there are just "six degrees of separation" between any two strangers on Earth, has been largely corroborated by a massive study of electronic communication. With records of 30 billion electronic conversations among 180 million people from around the world, researchers have concluded that any two people on average are distanced by just 6.6 degrees of separation, meaning that they could be linked by a string of seven or fewer acquaintances. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25988549/ Quote <p><span style="color:#0000FF;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">"Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you."</span></span> Eph 4:29</span><br><br><img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetemp_both/US/OR/Fairview.gif" alt="Fairview.gif"> Fairview Or</p>
ChildofChrist Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 I think Walt Disney said that too! At first I was thinking about Roger Bacon http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/bacon_roger.shtml and wondered how that was possible. Teaches one to read a lit' more carefully, eh!? Roger, Roger..OOPS...Kevin, Kevin, Kevin! Quote Wakan Tanka Kici Un ~~Child of Christ~~
