Social networks have made it possible to reduce the distance, not only between people, but also with brands and institutions.
Although the theory indicates a separation of at least 6 people, it is worth mentioning that sometimes up to a total of 29 were required to close the circuit.
Derived from the integration of digitaldid within daily life, people reduced the fine line that limited people from having contact with other people, this in the first instance reducing the physical aspect, thanks to social networks and digital platforms ; however, it is because every time the digital environment surrounds us more, it has been proven how it is that people are a click away from each other, as demonstrated by a content creator who proves that he can connect with the world, only with photographs.
The Six Degrees of Separation Theory
Popular conversation points out that everyone in the world is related to all the people on the planet by no more than six degrees of separation, theory that microsoft came to check demonstrating that all people are connected; now, a social network user confirms with a series of tiktoks.
Through a study conducted in 2008 by microsoftit was revealed that any two individuals are connected each other by no more than 6.6 degrees of separation, which indicates that seven or fewer intermediaries are used to relate.
However, although the theory indicates that people can be related through seven other people or less, it was clarified that sometimes a chain of 29 links is necessary to complete the circuit; however, the curious thing was that, for the most part, only six people took care to verify that everyone is connected in the world.
The theory was initially proposed in 1930 by the Hungarian writer Frigyes Karinthy in a short story called “Chains”. According to this theory, each person knows on average, between friends, family and work or school colleagues, about 100 people, so each of those friends or close acquaintances is related to another 100 people, any individual can spend a message to 10,000 more people just by asking a friend to pass the message on to their friends.
It seems to me that COVID can reinforce the 6 degrees of separation theory.

Well, look at the theory of 6 degrees, it says that we know 6 people and through another 6…etc, etc, you know everyone.
