types of network. The chain<br />
that links scientists and co-authors<br />
is pretty much like a<br />
network where the scientist is<br />
the node in the connections. A<br />
scientist’s co-author will have<br />
more co-author than you<br />
would have much like how<br />
a network branches. They’ll<br />
have more publications and<br />
citations than you as well. It<br />
turns out, number of publications<br />
and citations meet this<br />
criteria. And so do wealth<br />
and happiness, too. This<br />
makes your friends probably<br />
more richer and happier than<br />
you. That has important implications<br />
for the way people<br />
perceive themselves given<br />
that their friends will always<br />
seem richer, happier, and<br />
more popular than they are.<br />
And so the problem is likely<br />
to be worse in social networks<br />
where this is easier to see.<br />
Brent said, “This might be<br />
the reason why active online<br />
social networking service<br />
users are not happy,’ say<br />
[the researchers], referring to<br />
other research that has found<br />
higher levels of unhappiness<br />
among social network users.<br />
So if you’re an active Facebook<br />
user feeling inadequate<br />
and unhappy because your<br />
friends seem to be doing better<br />
than you are, remember<br />
that almost everybody else<br />
on the network is in a similar<br />
position.” I’m not really<br />
surprised that social media<br />
can cause depression. Everything’s<br />
balanced anyway. If<br />
there’s an advantage, there’s<br />
also a disadvantage. I’m just<br />
not sure if friendship paradox<br />
is an advantage or disadvantage.<br />

The Big 3 Social Networks<br />
You Probably Should Have<br />
On a non-depressing matter, social media definitely<br />
lift us up, up, up in our daily lives whether you’re a<br />
student, working individual, or whoever you are as<br />
long as you can access the internet. There are a lot of<br />
risks, but we will focus on the positives in this article.<br />
So here’s the big 3 social networks you probably<br />
should have.<br />
Remember your old favorite friend<br />
back in kindergarten? You want to<br />
reconnect with him but you don’t<br />
know anything about him right now<br />
let alone his current location. You<br />
still remember his name, right? So<br />
log on Facebook and search for him.<br />
You will find a lot of people with<br />
the same name but with Facebook’s<br />
updates recently, you will find him<br />
no matter what. Before social media,<br />
people used to send letters or<br />
telegrams. What now? Instant messaging.<br />
