It is so surprising for me that it takes only 6 persons to get to one selected persons from the other.
I thought it would take so many persons because our society is so big. However, I feel that the result is not completely reliable because the result was made by only 42 letters of the 160 letters. It is not sure to make results from such small numbers of data. In addition, I have a question that the six degrees of separation can be applied to the world really. I think the experiments in the world should be done.
Anyway, I feel that our world is small and we are connected. In addition, I am surprised by the result on webs. I thought the world of Web was too big for us to grasp. However, in fact, I realized it is a small world. These results changed my thought about the size of our society.

Thanks Mio, You are wise to question the sample size of the research, however, as Barabasi is only summarising the results, we should also visit the original research to learn what provisos Milgram acknowledges in his conclusions. Solid effort.
