The recent Think and a Drink (@TaaD) covered the wide ranging topic of Social Networking. There was much to take in and some genuinely useful tips and tricks for ‘upping’ your game with regards to social networking from an internet perspective.
However, one presentation tried to tackle the immensely challenging science of networking and attempted to explain the academic difference between complex and complicated. Whilst the explanation of ‘complicated’ was good, ‘complex’ was almost just left as being ‘not like complicated’ – the explanation didn’t really explore the concept due, most likely, to a lack of time. I’m going to try to touch on it here.
(Update: This is about complexity theory, rather than the normal English use of the words. Sorry for any confusion!)
