Blog 2 Information and Networks

   In class we talked about three different types of information networks which included Sarnoff's Law, Metcalfe's Law and Reeds Law. The one law that I think I agree with most would have to be Sarnoff's Law just because I understand the concept as a future broadcaster, I am not saying its the best one I just can relate to it the most. It basically is broken down in the way that the value of network increases linearly with the number of people on it. I can really relate to the concept of the more popular a show is on radio or on TV the more money you can charge for advertising.

Our generation is very progressive so I feel as tough we will change with the times. For example todays older folks are really stuck in their ways, for example some people have always got their news from radio and they will still to this day do it that way even tough there are much better ways to get the news. But our generation like I said is very progressive, so I believe as times change so will we. The other thing would be the way we will access the internet will be through new devices. There is some new technology every year or things get improved in drastic ways.
