The network is the technological result of the institutional change of human society, and the symbol of human society from agricultural society to industrial society and finally into the network information society. The changes in social history determine that Website Design The development of network technology, such as e-commerce and network securities, in turn, the development of technology also greatly affects the changes of social history. These two aspects are not contradictory in fact. Because the original meaning of technology refers to "the relationship between human beings and nature", however, since anthropology introduced "branch workers", the simple "relationship between human beings and nature" has been replaced without exception by the relationship between people and nature organized by division of labor. Thus, the original meaning of "technology" has been replaced by the modern meaning of "technology". The latter includes not only the former, but also a whole set of interpersonal relationships aimed at maintaining and coordinating the social division of labor. These interpersonal social relationships are called "institutions", which contain the technology of coordinating the system of division of labor. ① In other words, because of the benefits of economies of scale and division of labor and specialization, technology is no longer a simple relationship between man and nature, it must include the relationship between man and man, and can become the technology of a division of labor society. Therefore, the social changes enable the development of network technology, and the development of network technology in turn makes human society enter the network era. The advent of the Internet era is undoubtedly a great leap forward in the development of human society and the embodiment of human social innovation.
Since the end of the 1980s, with the launch of the "information superhighway" plan, a new scientific and technological revolution is quietly coming. The development of new high-tech has pushed mankind from industrial society to information society. What is the information society? At present, there is no final conclusion. American Information Economist W J. Martin believes that the information society is a society where the quality of life, social changes and economic development increasingly depend on information and its development and utilization. In this society, people's living standards, work and leisure methods, education system and market are all obviously influenced by information and knowledge. Liu Chao, a Chinese scholar, pointed out in his book "Information and Information Society" that information society takes information as the basic driving force of social development, takes information technology as the basic means to realize information society, takes information economy as the leading economy to maintain social existence and development, and changes human education The new social form of life and work style, price concept and space-time concept.
Huang Shuofeng also pointed out in The Rise and Fall of the Nation that the society is in such a state that when the value generated by the information industry is greater than that generated by other industries, when the number of people engaged in the information industry exceeds the number of people engaged in other industries, most people are dealing with information rather than producing products in large quantities, The society in this state of technology is called information society or information society. ② However, American scholars were the first to conduct theoretical discussions on the information society. Since the 1950s and 1960s, the rapid development of science and technology has led to significant changes in the economic structure of Meirun. Based on the analysis of the economic development of the United States, some American scholars have put forward many theories with wide influence, including Daniel Bell's "post industrial society" theory and Alvin Toffler's "third wave" theory And John Nisbitt's "big trend" theory. They revealed the characteristics of the information society from their respective research directions. The most typical feature is that the network is the main mode, which determines the efficiency and competitiveness of the organization, factory or enterprise, and is the operation process to strengthen the information flow among its components. Therefore, the network becomes the carrier of information flow. The information society is also called the network society.
Every social formation has its technological premise. The reason why human beings got rid of the primitive ape man life and entered the agricultural society is that they learned to use fire and manufacture labor tools. At the same time, in the process of transforming nature, people gradually learned about animal breeding and plant cultivation, thus setting off the first wave of civilization - the wave of agricultural technology revolution. This technological wave has pushed human society into agricultural society. The industrial society developed along with the industrial revolution in the 17th and 18th centuries. The industrial revolution, which began in Britain and was marked by the invention of the steam engine, destroyed the old order dominated by agricultural production, made the backward handicraft industry transition to the big machine industry, and opened up a new era dominated by industry - the industrial era. Like the past social development, the formation of the network society also has its own technological premise - network technology. The network society has been the social configuration since the 1990s, but in fact, as early as 1948, the first large-scale computer was successfully trial produced, which indicates that a new era is coming. In the following 50 years, computers have developed and updated at a rate of every ten years or even less. Especially in the past decade, due to the rapid development of computer technology, not only has the information industry emerged with the production, processing and transmission of information, but also has formed an "informationized" social organization - an information-based society. It can be seen that the technological prerequisite for the formation of the network society is network technology.
