The article talks about the importance of the Dunbar Number. How it was created, what it means and how it applies to so many aspects of our social life. Robert Dunbar came upon the discovery of the Number while attempting to study the social behavior of primates. He found that with many species, the size of their social circle actually corresponded with the size of their frontal lobe. Robert then discovered the number could be broken down and divided into segments which actually determine the amount of friends in each circle and how close they are to you. The smaller the circle, the closer the friend, family member is in your social life. The largest number humans usually have is between 150-200 which is a broad scale of simple friends you might know on a name basis. Konnikova later shifted to the basis of social media and what effect it has on the Dunbar Number. The ideology is that the number of your social circle would inevitably increase but should the people you talk to online actually be considered your friends?
