english: So to invoke another metaphor, if you imagine social networks as a kind of vast fabric of humanity -- I'm connected to you and you to her, on out endlessly into the distance -- this fabric is actually like an old-fashioned American quilt, and it has patches on it: happy and unhappy patches.
non_english: Da uključimo još jednu metaforu, ako zamislite da je društvena mreža neka vrsta ogromne tkanine čovečanstva - ja sam povezan sa vama, vi sa njom, i tako u nedogled i u daljinu - ova tkanina je ustvari kao staromodni američki jorgan, koji ima zakrpe po sebi, srećne i nesrećne zakrpe.
