The impact of computer networks on social development:
Now, the human society has entered the 21st century information age. Computers and the Internet are closely related to people’s daily work, study and life. Human society is now in a historical leap period, moving from a highly industrialized era to a preliminary computer network. era. With the rapid development of computer technology and network communication technology today, computers and the Internet are entering every corner of human society at an alarming rate. So in the future, what attitude and method will we use to face the material and spiritual changes brought to us by network technology? We must take a profound look at the profound changes in social production and life at all levels caused by the network. I think this will surely become the biggest issue facing human beings today, and it may also be a new challenge that our scientific work and researchers need to face.
1. Social development under the computer network
A correct understanding of the power of computers and networks is the basis for us to discuss the impact of computer networks on contemporary social economy, politics and culture, and is the premise for exploring the relationship between computer networks and social development. For modern society, the popularization of computer networks will have a huge impact on all aspects of social production and life, especially after the network has been widely accepted and used by the people as a tool of production and life. The role of will become even greater. Below we will briefly introduce the impact of computer networks on society.
First, the network will promote the development of social productivity at a faster speed. Human society has experienced several technological revolutions, and the arrival of the computer network era announced the arrival of a new technological revolution. The main element of the computer and network age is information. Through computers and the Internet, the development of information technology will be unprecedentedly accelerated. The channels for people to understand and transmit information will increase, the speed will become faster, and the timeliness and effectiveness of information will also be increased. Become stronger. At the same time, the development of information technology will also promote the progress and development of information-related industries, such as biotechnology and electronic technology. And the development and utilization of some new materials and new energy technologies will also make great progress in this process, which will promote the status of science and technology as the primary productive force of human society to become more prominent, and may even make science and technology gradually rise to one level. This independent force enters the material production process and becomes the decisive factor in determining the size of productivity.
In the age of computer networks, information will become an important social resource and a comprehensive element that social development must rely on. With the help of the network, the development and utilization of information resources will become simpler. We can establish specialized social, industry, corporate and personal information networks and information databases to enable all sectors of the social economy to base enterprise production and business decisions on timely, accurate and scientific information, thereby promoting the entire nation The economic level has been greatly improved. In recent years, many economically developed countries have fallen into a vicious circle of low economic growth or even economic recession, and they have been lingering on low economic growth, zero growth or even negative growth for a long time. This has led to the emergence of many economic turmoil and social disorder in these countries, and the public's demand for economic recovery has become very strong. With the increasing popularity of computers and the Internet, these countries have suppressed the hope of promoting economic growth. On the construction of the information highway, they invested a lot of money and manpower in the development of information technology and the development of computer software, hoping to save the weak economic development through the construction of the information industry. The fact is that their efforts have obtained huge returns. Come a new round of development of the country's economy. At present, whether in economically developed or developing countries, products that extend through the network have occupied an important position in various industries, from the main force for adjusting the social industrial structure and promoting economic development for some countries. They have become more and more aware that in the future economic competition, their ability to understand and use information will have a direct impact on the outcome of competition. Only by establishing an efficient social information network can we obtain a new starting point and an effective guarantee for economic revitalization. This is true for a country and it is also true for an enterprise. In the future, the ability of enterprises to participate in market competition will be largely controlled by their ability to understand industry information. Only on the basis of timely understanding of market information can enterprises effectively organize their own production and business activities; another On the one hand, the use of computer and network communication technology in business management, production and sales, and financial accounting can also greatly improve the company’s production management capabilities and the efficiency of individual departments.
Secondly, for individuals, through the use of computers and networks, many changes will take place in the way humans work and work. Production activities have three elements: laborers, labor tools, and labor objects. Laborers, that is, people, are the main body of production activities. They will determine the choice of labor tools, labor objects, and labor methods. At the same time, several factors of production are also interacting, and their degree of cooperation will directly affect the efficiency and results of production. In an era when production tools and production levels are relatively backward, people have received very limited rewards after their hard work. This is precisely restricted by the backward production environment.
However, with the progress of human society and the continuous development of science and technology, human production methods and production capabilities have also been greatly developed. With the advent of the computer network era, this change will become more obvious. We can expect that in the near future, through the connection of computer networks, people can complete work and study tasks without leaving home, which can save everyone more time to deal with some other things, and make people move even I have been liberated. In addition, we can use the computer network to input our work thinking and methods into the machine to complete tasks that we must complete by ourselves. In the production of enterprises, we can not only use the computer to make a new design of the product's appearance, packaging and performance, but also use the computer to control the entire process of product production, packaging and distribution, saving a lot of manpower and financial resources. Moreover, we can also combine the computers in the enterprise and the company into a network system, and a host computer controls the extensions to form an effective connection network to ensure the coordination of the entire production process. By entering the production process through the network, we can save the production links that were dominated by a large amount of manpower and allow them to engage in more flexible production activities. This can also be said to be a leap in the history of human production development.
Third, computer networks will open up an era of electronic management. Through computer networks, new methods and methods will be brought to the management of government departments. In the future, the electronic government management model may be realized. In the future, from high-level government functional departments to local government departments at all levels can perform management functions electronically through the Internet, establish a special government-managed electronic system, issue management notices, and promulgate new policies, laws and regulations. Regarding government news, governments and departments at all levels can set up electronic databases from their own management directions to provide effective assistance for policy promulgation and inquiries. In addition, through these networks, relevant departments can keep abreast of relevant information and the situation reported by the grassroots, so that they can make policy adjustments in a timely manner. Through this dedicated computer network, the management of government and functional dissatisfaction can be made clearer, and the transparency of ordinary people in society will be increased, so that government behavior can be more supervised by the people and ensure social stability. In addition, online voting can be used to determine the promulgation of related policies and major resolutions to increase citizens' enthusiasm for participating in politics and to ensure effective contact between the government and the masses.
Finally, computer networks will also have a great impact on the changes in people’s lives. Through computers and networks, we can have a new public and private health field in the future, giving people a new way of life. The network makes communication between people more convenient, makes the relationship between people closer, and makes the world's distance smaller and smaller. In addition, the network will also provide us with any services we need, such as sending and receiving information, contacting relatives and friends, online shopping, keeping up to date with news, watching TV programs, and completing work and study tasks. In short, an efficient network system will solve all the problems we need to solve for us,
This shows that the development of computer networks will have a positive impact on human society, will cause revolutionary changes in social production and life, and will promote the development of human civilization to a higher stage.
2. The adverse impact of computer networks on social development
However, everything has its two sides, and computer networks are the same. Although computer networks can bring so many beneficial aspects to our social development, if we don’t use the network correctly, it will also give us social development. Bring many harms.
First of all, since the current network technology has not yet developed to a relatively complete stage, the network still has a lot of fictitiousness and unreality, leading to conditions for the development of ideological and political struggles on the network. The acceleration of the globalization of the Internet and the development of related technologies will have a positive impact on the development of all aspects of human society and promote the progress of human civilization. However, due to the large irregularities in the current network management, the network is becoming a place where many organizations and individuals propagate their own theories and ideas, and even become a tool for political groups and individuals to criticize their opponents. Many Western countries have used the Internet to influence the ideology of the people in developing countries. Because network information is different from those tangible commodities, it will inevitably be contaminated with some cultural and political colors in the process of its formation and dissemination. Some countries that advertise their own social systems and consciousness can use the Internet to use these ideologies. Promote it to the people of other countries, so as to achieve the evil goal of promoting social unrest and instability of the people in these countries, and further realize the influence on the political system. We know that information is a very important social element in the Internet age. Whoever has the information in the future society will have more benefits. Similarly, if that organization or group has the power to publish and transmit network information, then it is no exaggeration to say that they also have the capital to control the world. Therefore, we must attach great importance to the construction of the information industry in the future, so as to make sufficient capital for our country to participate in world competition in the future.
At this stage, many different political groups and even governments of various countries have begun to use the Internet channels to carry out influential propaganda in the field of consciousness and behavior to people in other countries and regions, and to those who have different positions and opinions. The government and organizations have made political shocks in an attempt to achieve the goal of being able to shake and subvert them. At present, because the network technology is not very mature, the network is still very virtual and unreality, so the ideological struggle on the network will not be very obvious, but it will appear very complicated. Now, different individuals and organizations can publish different political and ideological views on the Internet in their own different ways, and may have a catalytic effect on some netizens’ thoughts and concepts, thus forming different online factions and various ideas. Fierce confrontation. The constant controversy on the Internet has formed many negative and backward influences. These are issues that must be paid attention to in the future network construction and improvement.
Secondly, the Internet will lead to more uneven development in countries around the world. The power of science and technology is infinite. In the computer age, the speed of information transmission is accelerating, and the ability to master information in countries and regions will have a great impact on the depth of economic development in this region. At present, Western developed countries have built network information highways one after another, and the original economic downturn is immediately improved, and a new round of social and economic development has begun, which shows how huge the impact of network information on economic development is. Now that information has become the main means for countries and business entities to participate in competition, everyone has realized that as long as they have timely and effective information, they can be invincible in part-time jobs. But we know that to build an efficient and complete information network, huge funds and technical support are needed, and not every country can easily complete it. It is for this reason that countries around the world will determine their level of informatization due to their economic strength. In the Internet age, those countries and regions with relatively complete information infrastructure and relatively rapid development in later stages of construction will take a step forward in the development and utilization of information, thereby promoting the rapid development of the society and economy, and the country's strength becomes more powerful. On the contrary, those areas with relatively weak economic strength do not have enough funds and technology to develop information networks, and the construction of communication facilities cannot keep up with the pace of network development. The collection and control of information is not as effective as developed countries. They appear to be more passive in economic competition, leading to slow or even retrogression in social and economic development. Therefore, another adverse effect brought about by the Internet age is that it may cause the economic gap between countries in the world to become wider and wider. Strong countries become stronger with the help of information networks, and weak countries become weaker due to their own economic strength.
Third, the popularity of the Internet may gradually decline the culture of different nations. The Internet can allow us to understand the information around the world without leaving home, but it is precisely because of the increasing popularity of the Internet worldwide that it will cause the language and culture of many regions to be impacted. Because, after the Internet is popularized worldwide, a unified communication and operating system will inevitably appear in the world, and a unified network language must be used worldwide. According to the current popularity of the language, English will become the future In order to obtain information on the Internet, it will be very important for people from different countries and regions to learn and master online languages. In the end, this language will become the common language of all countries, and the original culture and customs of all ethnic groups will be shattered. The globalized network culture and language will expand with the extension of the information network. The original ideological concepts and cultural qualities of people from different countries and nations will gradually be replaced by network culture and ideas. Therefore, the problem we must study hard at present is how to protect and carry forward the culture and tradition of our nation.
Finally, the Internet can bring great convenience to people's labor and life. But behind this increasing convenience will be the terrible crisis of human society. The Internet can break the distance between time and space, allowing everyone to connect with the rest of the world without going out. The consequence of this is that people’s collective consciousness will become weaker and weaker, and people’s social consciousness will follow. Slowly lower. We all know that after the human society enters the period of gregariousness, the essential attribute of human beings is its sociality. Only by continuous positive communication between people and continuous communication of information and emotions can the human social attributes be maintained. However, with the connection of the Internet, the era of information and economic globalization has begun, and the exchange and transmission of various information has become very convenient. Without the barriers of time and space, direct communication and communication between people It will become less and less, without emotional communication, the connection of various groups will become unstable, and finally the collapse of the group will fight each other.
It is foreseeable that in such a social environment, everyone will feel that direct communication between people is unnecessary, and everything can be done well through the Internet. Even the concept of family affection will become weaker and weaker. The relationship between neighbors is like passers-by. Each opens the door and eats separately, and the relationship between colleagues will become simpler, and it is possible that everyone is a colleague. I know, because I just need to connect via the Internet. The simpler and simpler social relations may also lead to the result that human evolution will become very slow or even regress. Only after not only social trials and environmental impacts, can humans develop to a higher level. However, in the Internet age, people’s work and life are less and less affected by the social environment, and computers have replaced us greatly. Part of the labor, the human body may also degenerate. Similarly, due to the reduction of direct exchanges between regions, the complementarity of different races, cultures and customs will become impossible to achieve. Many different ethnic advantages cannot be learned, and the quality of human society will be greatly reduced. Although these things may appear a long time later, perhaps this is just a guess we have now, but we must now continue to work hard to prevent this day from coming.
From the above aspects, we can find that the Internet has its advantages and disadvantages, and we must use it correctly to truly serve social development. At present, what we have to do is to have a correct understanding and understanding of the network through continuous research on the network, and be able to use it correctly.
3. Concluding remarks
In the computer network era, people's use of computers and the Internet will surely spread to all aspects of social production and life. Through the functions of computers and networks, it will give enterprises to the development of production and business activities and the common people. Work and life bring great convenience. With the connection and communication of the Internet, the speed of various information dissemination will accelerate, and the degree of dependence of enterprises and individuals on network information will continue to increase. Departments with relatively large information needs will become industries that create high value-added in the future society. . And through them, they promote the progress and development of related knowledge industries, and even promote the optimization and adjustment of the economic structure of the whole society, and promote the overall progress of the social economy.
The achievement of today's development of computer networks is a sign that human civilization has entered a higher stage. It promotes the development of human society in a more modern direction and at the same time promotes the arrival of the era of knowledge economy. The connection of people through the computer network breaks the original barriers in time and space, narrows the distance between people invisibly, and expands our living space to a certain extent. The network provides us with super Unusual convenience and success. However, the Internet has also brought more challenges to society. It requires us to face new life and environment at a higher level, while constantly changing our thoughts and behaviors. We have the opportunity to continuously strive to promote the development of human society to a higher stage.
