Networks: The Nervous Systems Of Society

Modernity signals the pace and scope of change for life in the future such as the expansion of the social sector of the economy and the increase of managerial, professional and technical occupations in all job sectors. It also sees education held in higher regard, as it becomes more "centralised", along with theoretical knowledge, research and information.

The internet has to be one of the largest networks accessable to practically everyone at the moment. With the capacity of users comes the issue of privacy. There are concerns about the distinction these days between public and private lives when online. More and more companies are tracking what people do on their computers everyday to try and provide a more personalised service, but most people if asked would rather have their privacy, than a search engine that is tailored to us.
