. Each person can communicate with each of n-1 other connected people, resulting in n*(n-1) possible communications, which is approximately n^2. In computer-based networks, where each node might well communicate simultaneously with many other nodes, network effects may well grow even faster than the square of the nodes.

Enjoyed your post. If lily pads are geometric, than the networking effect can be exponential, e.g. one person having a digital camera, a JetSend printer, DSL at the office, Cable Modem at home, an internet appliance in the briefcase, etc.
