Interactions, or what Georg Simmel in his pioneering work called Wechselwirkungen,[1] are the basis for society itself, according to Herbert Blumer.
TV shows, radio programs, videos and books are forms of indirect interaction.
[3] A somewhat more sensitive estimate could be to multiply miles traveled times the square root of population density.
Andrew Lipsman, for example, reported that of the 2 million users that comScore samples, 6% account for approximately 50% of the Internet traffic.
Intensity increases, complexity declines, and alternatives diminish to fright, flight, and fight.
[9] As the world’s population grows, and people interact with each other at an ever swifter pace, horizontal power structures replace vertical ones, and violence escalates.
[10] With the advent of the Internet, a share of violence seems to have shifted, intriguingly, from direct to indirect interaction.
