Here’s another RSA Animate about Networks, taken from a talk given by Manuel Lima, a senior UX designer from Microsoft Bing, which I think could really help conceptualise the idea of networks, where they originate and why they are so integral to modern society, knowledge and technology.

While all the concepts covered in this video are useful and worth considering, I think the take away idea from this, is that all the knowledge and everything in the world is interconnected in some way via a complex system of networks. It is useful to think of knowledge in this way and to apply this logic to ourselves, especially as we prepare ourselves for entry into a work force that requires and promotes multi-skilling and creative thinking.
