Of the three networks laws, Sarnoff's Law, Metcalfe's Law, and Reed's Law, I believe Sarnoff's Law is the most understandable. This law makes most sense to me. Sarnoff's laws states that the value of a network increases with the number of people on it. The more active people are on it, whether it be listening, watching or both, determines how popular it is. This law makes me think of television and as soon as people tune in the networks can track how many viewers they have. The more views, the better the tv show will do. So, in simplest terms, the more people accessing a network the more valuable it becomes. In five years I can see our society even more internet based than it is now. Communication will become quicker and easier because of advances with cellular networks as well as wifi. The new generations will be savvier than ever with all things technology perpetuating the technological cycle.
