New Writing Retreats
The university Writing Center is pleased to announce that it now hosts writing retreats. On select Saturdays, writing coaches from the Writing Center will travel with students to Saddlebrook Farm, a historic farmhouse in the beautiful countryside near the university. Students can bring their laptops and will be free to write in the farmhouse or outside. “Having an eight-hour day committed to writing in a quiet setting free from the distractions of campus should help students concentrate and make progress on their writing assignments,” said the director. He added, “Writing coaches will be available to answer questions and provide immediate feedback on drafts, which will also support students as they write.”

Network Effect
Certain products or services depend on having a network or a large interconnected group of users. Consequently, the products or services may become more useful or less useful, depending on how many other people in the network are also using them. This phenomenon is known as the network effect. Usually a product or service becomes more useful as the network of people who are using it continues to grow. However, the network effect is not always positive: if the number of users increases beyond a certain point, it could have a disruptive effect on the network, and the product or service may actually become less useful for users.
Explain the concept of the network effect and how the example in the lecture illustrates it.
