Bell Curve vs Power Law

And here I was thinking that i’d never have to use Math in such a way once I left school . . . well I suppose I’m still at school so my point is still valid.

The main point that I get out of this reading is that Bell Curves relate to networks that are concrete, the example used in the reading is the roads and highways connecting the major cities of the USA. I’m assuming you all know what a bell curve is . . .
On the contrary to this, any network that isn’t concrete shows the Power Law, the example being the aeroplanes’ flight paths between any the cities. Each city is a node in the network and the major cities obviously have more paths in the air going straight to other cities then roads do.

So because the internet is regarded as lucid and not concrete in terms of its networking capabilities then there is a relation to that and the Power Law. Is this helpful? Well it helpful for those wanting to target mass audiences because then they know which nodes in the network they need to be on, advertisement would obviously benefit in this way. Heres a thought though, the internet is expanding and expanding all the time, each time a new node comes in those previous to it have the potential to get into the peaking 20% of nodes in the structure, but human knowledge can only go so far surely, does the placings of the nodes change if the growths stops or are the nodes still fluid? Especially in a network that isn’t concrete . . . who knows? not me . . .
