About 'degrees of university'|...a degree of home entertainment. Ms R Thomas and Guests - Kingston University








When               six               ordinary               people               participated               in               an               ABC               television               special               called               "Six               Degrees               of               Martina               McBride,"               the               host               of               the               show,               Jay               Schadler,               was               surprised,               maybe               even               shocked               that               each               and               every               one               of               them               were               able               to               connect               with               the               country               music               star               through               a               chain               of               personal               connections               containing               six               people               or               less.

Martina               McBride               was               just               as               surprised.

The               rules               of               the               contest               (it               was               actually               a               singing               contest               -               each               of               the               six               contestants               were               vying               for               a               chance               for               Martina               to               give               one               of               them               a               boost               onto               the               country               music               scene)               were               that               they               could               not               research               a               direct               route               to               her.

They               couldn't               stand               outside               a               concert               hall               or               drive               to               her               house.

They               had               to               find               someone               -               an               acquaintance               -               who               knew               someone               who               knew               someone               until               they               found               a               personal               Martina-McBride-country-superstar               connection.
               One               person               who               may               have               predicted               the               outcome,               however,               is               author               Malcolm               Gladwell.

Gladwell               is               the               author               of               "The               Tipping               Point"               and               "Blink."               In               "Tipping               Point,"               Gladwell               tells               of               a               social               experiment               done               in               the               1960's               by               Stanley               Milgram.

In               the               experiment,               envelopes               were               sent               out               to               several               people               in               Omaha,               Nebraska               along               with               the               name               and               address               of               someone               who               lived               in               Sharon,               Massachusetts.

Each               person               was               instructed               to               get               the               envelope               to               the               address               in               Sharon,               but               not               by               mailing               it               directly.

The               envelopes               came               with               instructions               that               told               the               recipients               to               write               their               name               on               it               and               send               it               to               someone               who               may               know               someone               else               who               has               connections               to               the               guy               in               Sharon.

It               seems               complicated;               most               of               us               would               guess               that               it               would               take               hundreds               or               thousands               of               connections               to               reach               a               specific               person               in               a               small               town               thousands               of               miles               away.

The               results               of               the               experiment?

It               took               approximately               six               connections               for               each               envelope               to               reach               its               destination.
               A               play               on               this               experiment               is               the               popular               party               game               "Six               Degrees               of               Kevin               Bacon."               This               game               is               based               on               the               idea               that               any               (or               at               least               many)               other               actors               can               be               connected               to               movies               starring               Kevin               Bacon               by               their               connection               to               other               actors               who               have               also               appeared               in               movies               with               Kevin               Bacon.

A               study               by               Brett               Tjaden               at               the               University               of               Virginia               determined               that               nearly               any               actor               can               be               "connected"               to               Kevin               in               an               average               of               less               than               three               steps.

He               found               that               many               other               actors               are               even               more               connected               than               Kevin.
               A               recent               study               called               the               Small               World               Project               uses               the               internet               revolution               to               connect               people               all               over               the               world.

This               project               is               being               conducted               by               Columbia               University.

Over               60,000               people               from               170               countries               around               the               world               have               taken               part               in               this               experiment               to               try               to               connect               to               others               using               a               human               e-mail               chain.

While               hundreds               of               connections               have               been               made,               what               do               you               suppose               the               average               number               of               "connectors"               were               required               for               an               e-mail               to               reach               its               target?

You               guessed               it!

Just               six               links               in               the               chain               for               one               random               person               to               reach               another               random               person               in               the               world.
               Globalization               is               quickly               making               the               planet               Earth               a               smaller               and               smaller               place               to               live.

The               internet               allows               us               to               meet               and               form               relationships               with               other               people               who               would               have               been               virtually               unaccessible               a               short               time               ago.

Maybe               future               parlor               games               will               begin               with               the               phrase,               "The               Three               Degrees               of..."
