Facebook as a Self Organization System.
In “The Myth of the Ant Queen,” Johnson emphasizes the decentralized behavior that is inherent in nature and suggests that hierarchical theories of human society are not compatible with this theory. The “pattern-recognition problems” of Oliver Selfridge that Johnson discusses (205-206) are an example of this notion. Using examples (with appropriate quotes) from both texts, answer the question:
“To what degree is Facebook an example of a self-organizing system like the ones that Johnson describes? Does Facebook eliminate the need for centralized control, or does it merely appear to?“
