6 degrees of separation it is a theory in which one tries to prove the saying of "the world is a handkerchief" or saying of other one way, that any person in the world this one connected to any another person of the planet across an chain acquaintances of six persons (connecting two persons with only six links of persons)that means that I am related to anyone in the world and only six people separate me, only six people separate me from Uma Thurman Huau.

Today I'm writing after several days, although I felt a little discouraged. I don't get the whole "discouraged" part.
The "Six degrees of separation" is a theory which tries to prove the saying, "the world is small." In other words, it posits that any person in the world is connected to any another person through a chain of six acquaintances (connecting two people with only six links of acquaintance). This means that I am related to anyone in the world through only six people, including Uma Thurman Huau.
It's an interesting theory, but I think the "six" number is just an estimate. The overall concept is probably true...it's a small world, after all :P
I wonder with the disseminaiton of the Internet, people in the world are connected more and more frequently.
Once you join the Lang 8, you will suddently have soooo many new friends, too.
And these days, the Internet(Lang 8, facebook, twitter, etc.) makes the world get smaller and smaller.
