In this paper, I will try to make an understanding of how social media, like Facebook and Twitter, can affect the six degrees of separation. The six degrees of separation is a theory developed by Frigyes Karinthy, which states that every human being, or phenomena, is linked to every other, in five connections or less (five connections link six human beings). This theory started with the following mind game created by Frigyes (1929),
How can I link, with three, four, or at most five links of the chain, trivial, everyday things of life. How can I link one phenomenon to another? How can I join the relative and the ephemeral with steady, permanent things - how can I tie up the part with the whole? (p.3)
