Furthermore, he talks about other rules of epidemics called “The
stickiness Factor” and “The power of context”. Another interesting chapter is “The
Magic Number”. We are easily influenced by people around us so we make lots of
small communities. But what is the best number for community? 150! This number
is easy to connect. The most important thing is that in a small community
everyone knows each other. In a small community, the pressure from friends is
greater than from a boss.
People do not want to disappoint their friends. People
who know each other well will create a interactive memory system, where
different people each do the specific things they are good at. The interactive
memory constitutes parts of intimate relationship. This is called tacit
understanding.
I
think The Tipping point is one of the best non-fiction books. I think everyone
should read it. This is because we can learn a lot from it. If you want to be a
businessman, I strongly recommend you to read it.
After read it, I was thinking
why some products can be very popular. For example, iPhone is very popular. I think
that is because iPhone has a lot of special thing. The appearance of iPhone is
very concise. I do not find any other phones as beautiful as the iPhone. The software
of the iPhone is very useful. Apple uses cutting edge technology to design
iPhone. Because it has so many advantages that make it awesome.
If people want
to create a fashion trend, they should specialize on one specific part of
fashion. I think connectors, mavens, and salesman are the perfect people to
spread information. For example, Steven Jobs could sale iPhone very well. I
think he was all three of these people. Because of that, I highly recommend
this book.
