Information and Networks

1) I agree most with Reed's law.  I believe that social media has a lot of power these days. It's easy for people to hit share or retweet on Facebook and Twitter.  People who share information makes it accessible to all of their friends and their friends might share it and start a chain reaction, which quickly increases the value of it. It makes it easier for people to connect with each other. People can choose who they decide to connect to whether that be a small group of friends or a large amount of people they chose to add. I think it's the most accurate way to measure the value of something because it's also easy to measure the amount of connections a person has on social media networks.

2)  I think in the next 5 years a majority of people are going to get all of their information over the internet. It's obvious in schools and in the workplace that they are becoming more dependent on computers, tablets, or phones to get their information. Less classrooms are using less books and becoming more interactive over the internet with reading articles online or, turning in assignments online. Other sources of information are also available online now too like newspapers and e-books. Everything is available over the internet these days so that's why I think it's going to be the main outlet to get information 5 years from now.
