Network theory - Marc Samet

From social media to massive financial institutions, we live within a web of networks. But how do they work? How does Googling a single word provide millions of results? Marc Samet investigates how these networks keep us connected and how they remain "alive."

Lesson by Marc Samet, animation by Thinkmore Studios.

It's because it was explained in an incredibly confusing manner, or maybe because of that plus the fact that we all pretty much already knew what they were saying and it overcomplicated it so much that we think there's something we missed, when intact we already know everything in the video.

I did not understand the concept...Ted Ed videos are really awesome, and I love almost all of them, so I thought mayb only I did not understand what he had explained....but as I checked the comment section, it turn out, many did not understand it as

[Tupster]

This video is a vast oversimplification of what network theory is. I'm amazed that you'd jump to any conclusion about it based on this.

[ctsau]

Short and ineffective. Too vague, but artistically well thought out. This is from the perspective who has little to no understanding of the Network Theory.

[ShawnNeckelmann]

Could you have tried any harder to complicate a relatively simple concept?

[MohammedYASSINE]

we should understand that networks are complicated and that actually we don't know how it works, it just keeping growing up.

I have TedEd combined with Lumosity. I will be a genius in no time!

[Rigardoful]

Wait .. Logarithmically?
I thought exponentially was the right term.

[dinglepuss]

Exponential functions are also essential tools in understanding climate change, peak oil, the Limits of Growth.

the video was too short.

we need a sequel!

Don't forget Vsauce, MinutePhysics, NumberPhile, and much much more amazing scientific channels!

he he... I'm glad someone caught that! I was afraid they wouldn't let me keep it in the animation! :)

[Oafing]

Shouldn't it be exponential expansion? i.e start of slow then rapidly accelerate?

네트워크 이론에 대한 내용 잘 봤습니다. 구글의 서치 엔진 알고리즘에서도 수많은 정보들이 모여 네트워크를 이루고 있다는 사실이 정말 놀랍습니다. 오늘도 새로운 사실을 배웠네요. 좋은 영상 감사합니다!

Entendí casi todo, pero si alguien pudiese subtitularlo al español, Este material seria un gran apoyo didáctico en clases de computo y variaciones :)

[intiago]

the animation is cute but it doesnt really help make it clear..

[Gourmeticainsularis]

I think this uses a little too much jargon to be understood, at least by me.

[MrAmiiine]

im i the only one who didn't understand !!!

0:25 why is there a line through Canada?
