2. What are the affordances (what the software makes possible, what it impedes)?
Using Google Docs is like a combination of Microsoft Word and Internet. It allows the users to post something interesting very easily.
3. How can the technology be used to network professionally and connect users to learning resources?
This could be used for a small presentation for business. By using the Spreadsheet, it enables the users to give more visual information to the viewers.
4. What learned skills and understandings may promote your development as an effective learner in the digital age?
This tool may save my time, as I used to prefer working on Microsoft Words rather than the blog's posting tools, I used to copy and paste what I had written on Microsoft Word to some other place on the internet often.

Social Computing Key Questions 2:
1. What are the main skills needed to use social software?
It is not really a skill but I thought that I have to be curious to be a skilled social software user. I know the basic function of the sites though in order to show my individuality I have to do a couple of researches like seeing the help pages.

Making a personal blog is like having my own bedroom, or personal space, at home. Even if I am sharing home with my family, by I having my own room I can organise my belongings the way I want just like posting my favourite sites on my blog.

For professional use, the add-ons can reduce time for the research.

The skills to use convenient tools like add-ons and tabs and all the other things in order to effectively use the limited time. I have to catch up on new tools so I will not have to waste any time.

Barabasi: The Third Link pp. 25-35
1. What is the principle of six degrees of separation? What number of social links does any one person need to be connected to global society? p. 30
The principle of six degrees of separation is that every people in the world get to indirectly know each other through six people.
2. How is the fabric of society today different from pre-internet society? p. 31
The fabric of society today is different from pre-internet society in respect of the links that hold the informations together.
3. How many more links separate any pair of web pages compared to people in society? What can explain the difference? p. 34
13 more links seaparate any pair of web pages compared to people in society.
4. So far, what ranges of separation have network scientists discovered in different kinds of networks? p. 34
Network scientists discovered the separations of species in food webs, molecules in the cell, scientists in different fields of science, and the neurons in the brain of the C. elegans worm.
5. What does research suggest about the fundamentals of networks? p.34-35
The research suggests that a node has more than one link. If the node can only have one link then the distance between the nodes would be faraway.
6. What is your estimate of your personal number of connections to society? What connections are your strongest?
I am not very sure but I guess six is an adequate number. I would trust the number that came up from a result of a thorough research rather than my random estimate. I think I am strongly connected to my family.
