The last few years have led to a series of discoveries that uncovered statistical properties that are common to a variety of diverse real-world social, information, biological and technological networks. The goal of the present paper is to investigate the statistical properties of several man-made networks (including software, Internet) and discuss their significance. We show that these networks have properties that are like those displayed by information, biological and technological networks. The talk assumes no prior knowledge of complex networks theory, and will be of interest to the general public as well as to the specialist.
