Carnegie Mellon University | CMU: Imagine if Sir Francis Bacon had been able to "friend" William Shakespeare on Facebook.
The famous scientist's interactions with the playwright would have created a digital imprint, giving other networked friends and peers insight into their relationship.
It also may have left behind evidence of one of the largest questions in all of English literature: Did Bacon or someone else write some of Shakespeare's plays?

I think the idea of tracing back the roots of Shakespeare is a very cool idea. The commonly heard ‘6 degrees of separation’ being used to answer one of the largest questions in the thespian world is an interesting thought. But the article makes a very good point, what will be true and what will not. If they come out with some incredible information either proving or denying the supposed myth, will it be true?
