 What is It

Our Connections and Relationship

According to Merriam-Webster dictionary connection is the act
of connecting or the state of being connected. Meanwhile, relationship is the state
of being related or interrelated.

As social beings, it is natural for us to crave connections. This can be proven

by Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory. This theory explains around the stages of
needs that all human have in their lives. Love and Belonging, a stage that might be
considered illogical due to the overly sentimental connotation that it brings, is in
reality, a crucial need for humans. Every individual is connected to each other.
Each one is like a unique thread in a tapestry, with unique capacity to contribute
to the whole.
In this generation, it’s easy to get connected. You may have millions of
followers on Instagram, thousands of people liking your Facebook pictures, five
thousands plus connections on LinkedIn that makes you connected to all over the
world. It is even common for us to connect with someone and obtains a palpable
amount of knowledge on the other person’s background and interests through
fieldwork done with the help of social media.
Having close, positive connections and relationship can give us purpose and
sense of belongingness. Extensive evidence shows having good quality of
connections and relationships can help us to live longer and happier.
Collaboration as a Vital Skill in the 21st Century
Collaboration has become a 21st century trend. The need in society to think
and work together on issues of critical concern has increased, shifting the
emphasis from individual efforts to group work, from independence to community.
It is essential to collaborate effectively. That is why, it is normal for us to be
able to communicate immediately with people around the world, and because of
this we may work and study with people with very diverse backgrounds. An
openness to collaboration and sharing creative ideas means that we communicate
with each other. This gave us more opportunity to practice our connections and
relationships toward other people.

7 Reasons Why Collaboration is Important

1. It helps us problem-solve
2. Collaboration brings people (and organizations) closer together
3. Collaboration helps people learn from each other
4. It opens up new channels for communication
5. Collaboration boosts morale across your organization
6. It leads to higher retention rates
7. Collaboration makes us more efficient workers

and Relationships in the 21st century world.
We must establish a personal
connection with each other
before content. Without
relatedness, no work can

-Peter Block
“Connect the dots between
individual roles and the goal of
the organization. When people
see that connection, they get a
lot of energy to work. They feel
the importance, dignity and
meaning in their job “
-Ken Blanchard and Scott
Blanchard
A great relationship is about
two things, first, find out the
similarities, second, respect
the differences.

What is It

Connections and Networks

A network is two or more devices connected through links. A link is a
communication’s pathway that transfers data from one device to another. For
communication to occur, two devices must be connected in some way to the same
link at the same time. One characteristic of networks is that it enables flow of
information, flow of the resources and flow of exchange among others. It serves as
link connecting nodes (or point) to each other. The nodes can be a persons (such as
parents and children), institution (government and its agencies), bodies (such as
rivers and its tributaries) and concepts (such as economics and supply and
demand).
In addition, Connection is the successful completion of necessary
arrangements so that two or more parties (for example, people or programs) can
communicate at a long distance. In this usage, the term has a strong physical

9
(hardware) connotation although logical (software) elements are usually involved as
well.

Connections and Relationship

Relationship is about being and the experience of connecting with someone
over an extended period of time.

One way you might think about the difference between a connection and
a relationship is to picture it like how network mappers do. In a typical network
graph you’ll see lots of dots (or “nodes”), and these dots will be connected to
each other by lots of lines. The lines represent the relationships between the
dots, that is to say, the relationship between the things or people in the
network.

Figure 1 below shows a line connecting person “A” and person “B.” That
line represents their relationship.

Figure.1 Traditional view of a relationship

When we say “connection is the point of contact in a relationship”. This is

the modified picture.

Figure.2 Relationship with the connection exposed

The red square in the middle represents the point of contact which is the
connection between person “A” and person “B.” Think of Figure 2. As a snapshot in
time of a zoomed in version of figure 1. It’s a zoomed-in picture because it’s not
meant to replace the simplicity or truth of seeing relationships as pictured in
Figure 1. It’s just a closer look at what’s really going on here. The connection
represented by the red square moves us a half step from the fuzzy world of
relationships to a more concrete world of connections and what that contact
between A and B actually looks like.

It’s hard to visualize a relationship, but it’s easy to see connections.

Connections look like action – action that puts people in contact with each other.

14
 What is It

Many studies suggest that human brain can also be described as a biological
neural network. Neural network serves as interconnections of web neurons
transmitting an elaborate pattern of electrical signals. Dendrites act as a neuron
that receives signals (information) from other neurons and bring information to the
cell body while axons take information away from the cell body. But on how the
human brain actually works is an elaborate and complex mystery.

Developing an engaging animated system does not require any scientific

accuracy. But the idea of how the brain functions can be of inspiration to do such.
Computer scientists have also been inspired by the human brain. In 1943, Warren
S. McCulloch, a neuroscientist, and Walter Pitts, a logician, developed the first
conceptual model of an artificial neural network. In their paper, “A Logical Calculus
of the Ideas Imminent in Nervous Activity,” they describe the concept of a neuron, a
single cell living in a network of cells that receives inputs, processes those inputs,
and generates an output.

Neural Networks

Neural networks are groups of neurons that work together to carry out a
process because individual neurons cannot carry enough information to do one
process at a time. A good example is the determination of the taste of food or the
color of an object. In the processing of colors, there are only four-labeled lines
carrying information about red, green, blue and yellow light. But, we can still
distinguish millions of colors by comparing the relative activity in these four
pathways.
Complex network of neurons are required in this process. However, the
neural networks are where the most complex neural processing is carried out
through the “computing” work of the brain. And sometimes, these networks involve
a relatively small number of neurons in a single area. But because researchers
have found these networks to be inaccessible and complex, some are creating
artificial neural networks on computers.

 What is It

Artificial Neural Networks- is a special type of machine learning algorithms that

are modelled after the human brain. It is composed of connection, activation,
propagation function and network input, output function and learning strategy.
The tangible results of these artificial neural networks that we see nowadays are
the artificial intelligence that is being developed in robots and the advanced
computers.

Structure of Artificial Neural Networks

1. Input units- receive various forms and structures of information based on an

internal weighting system, and the neural network attempts to learn about the
information presented to produce one output report.

2. Hidden Layers- In the middle of the ANN model are the hidden layers. There
can be a single hidden layer, as in the case of a perceptron or multiple hidden
layers. These hidden layers perform various types of mathematical computation
on the input data and recognize the patterns that are part of.

3. Output Layer- In the output layer, we obtain the result that we acquired
through rigorous computations performed by the middle layer.

4. Backpropagation- A process using the error functions, calculating the

discrepancies between the predicted output and resulting output and adjust the
weights of the neural network
