But we are responsible to create the future and

make creative synthesis too.

And we are on the path to the

global network society

Facebook: 1.000.000.000

1 billion users +1.13 trillion likes

140.3 billion connections 219 billion photos

17 billion location-tags 2.6 million songs played 22 billion

times


It is advantegeous to know how social networks work


How an individual, a team or

a local community


can use the power of networks,

their own social capital.


What is „bridging“?


Robert Putnam

Robert Putnam makes a distinction between two kinds of social capital: •  bonding capital •  bridging capital


Robert Putnam

Bonding occurs when you are socializing with people who are like you: same age, same race, same religion, and so on.

bonding


Robert Putnam

But in order e.g. to create peaceful societies in a diverse multi-ethnic country, one needs bridging.

What is a Living Bridge?


If you understand the importance to be a gate opener


and if you regularly are bridging separated networks of society.
