we learned social network. and social network include many kinds of parts.and the key point is ⑴New media technologies usually reinforce existing social networks or even work to isolate people.
⑵ (BUT) When new media technologies facilitate new social networks, they simultaneously challenge existing social, political and economic relationships.
1. social network as sciencethis devide various parts ; field, definition, history, equivalence, centrality, bridge, social capital, bowling alone.
2. social networks as technologyfor example, email, newsgroups, and weblogs are relative with social networks as technology.
3. social networks as popular culturerecall the article by danah boyd: what happens to social networks when they are explicitly declared?“[danah] emphasize[s] how users have repurposed the technology to present their identity and connect in personally meaningful ways while the architect works to define and regulate acceptable models of use.”to understand “artificial” social networks we need to rethink the social scientific concepts of “equivalence,” “centrality,” even “node” and “link.”
4.social networks as art
this picture is sexchart.mean : if one person kiss another one, that person kiss next to the person. and everyone link each other.

in that time, I don't realize meaning network of society exactly. but i'm understand whole meaning.specially, that culture is connected by computer is surprised for me. because it means computer invade(?) individuality. in a sense i'm so afraid. in future, we really occupied technology. computer connect our life deeply. but we think that is just man-made.
