Definitely impermanent. So many people feel bound to maintain their network connections.

I guess the other piece here, implied by the metaphor, connectivism is not simply extending beyond the local', but also, the connected individual learns to solve problems and view networks differently. Those that are connected (I try to avoid the term connectivists as it can imply other things) can pragmatically extend their neural networks beyond the confines of their own cognitive space.

That's exactly what I was thinking! So glad someone out there can read my mind. ;)
