If any discipline wants to form its own independent discipline system, it must first have its own clear research object. Network communication is a branch of communication. We know that the research object of communication science is the information dissemination activities of human society, or the operation and appreciation of the information system of human society. From above Website Design From the definition of communication, we can see that the research object of network communication is all kinds of information dissemination activities carried out by human beings through computer networks.
According to the constituent elements of the communication process, the research fields of communication science can be divided into: control research, content analysis, media research, audience analysis and communication effect research. According to the subjects involved in communication, communication studies can be divided into five levels, namely, interpersonal communication, which refers to people's self communication, mainly including personal psychological activities and ideological activities; Interpersonal communication refers to the communication between individuals. There is no clear boundary between sender and receiver. As a kind of social science, the role they play also includes three aspects: the history of the development of network communication, the theoretical knowledge of network communication and network communication business. These three aspects of research should be complementary and inseparable. If you do not understand the history of the development of network communication, you will not understand its development context, and it is difficult to grasp the regularity of the development of network communication. Then, we can't raise the past knowledge and experience to the theoretical level. If we only have historical knowledge and lack of discussion on the network communication theory, the development of network communication will lose its orientation because of the lack of support from the theoretical basis, and its development and changes will be blind and passive; But if we only stay at the level of history and theory, we do not pay attention to the use of it to guide network communication business. Then, the so-called history and theory we have studied will lose its significance and value of existence.
Therefore, network communication science should not only study the problems in the real social network communication, but also sublimate the research of these problems into a theoretical knowledge for the future network communication practice. Admittedly, we cannot study for the sake of research. Nor can we just stop the sunlight on the network communication. After all, the operation of the network communication system is carried out in the general environment of human society. Therefore, when we study network communication, we should also consider the relationship and impact of human social activities and network communication activities. The ultimate reason why we study network communication is to promote the healthy development of human society.
Thirdly, another problem of network communication is the research method of network communication. It can be imagined that if a science does not have its own effective research methods, it will be like walking without a crutch. Then, the ultimate goal of the research of network communication is to implement the research of Li Lun into the practice of network communication.
