ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Network theory

Network theory is all about understanding how different parts fit together to form a bigger picture. It’s like a jigsaw puzzle - different pieces can be connected to form a larger image. In network theory, the pieces are things like computers, websites, or people, and when they are connected, a network is formed. This network can be used to understand how different parts work together and how a change in one thing might affect the overall system.
