Internet Culture

网络文化

应该讲,自从计算机网络出现,网络文化也开始出现。网络作为文化信息的载体,传播网络外的其他文化,网络出现以前的文化。网络没有创造任何文化。你可以发现网络上传播的小说用的文字、语言、修辞语法等都不是网络创造的,网络电影不过是网络外的电影的数字化方式的再现和传播。换言之,没有网络,这些小说或电影也会出现或者已存在,网络解决的是网络外文化传播的技术问题。

1认识网络文化

The Internet was conceived as a fail-proof network that could connect computers together and be resistant to any one point of failure; the Internet cannot be totally destroyed in one event, and if large areas are disabled, the information is easily rerouted。 It was created mainly by DARPA; its initial software applications were e-mail and computer file transfer。

Though the Internet itself has existed since 1969, it was with the invention of the World Wide Web in 1989 by British scientist Tim Berners-Lee and its implementation in 1991 that the Internet truly became a global network。 Today the Internet has become the ultimate platform for accelerating the flow of information and is, today, the fastest-growing form of media, and is pushing many, if not most, other forms of media into obsolescence。

What’s more is that the very notion of our actions, our endeavors and especially our mistakes, being perfectly archived is somewhat terrifying to say the least, no matter what level of accepted virtue or morality we may possess。 There is a stronger sense of urgency to obtain success and well-being in these modern times。 People are more intellectually engaged than ever before, because of the Internet。

The information age formed by capitalizing on the computer microminiaturization advances, with a transition spanning from the advent of the personal computer in the late 1970s to the internet reaching a critical mass in the early 1990s, and the adoption of such technology by the public in the two decades after 1990。 The Information Age has allowed rapid global communications and networking to shape modern society。

The information age, also commonly known as the computer age or information era, is an idea that the current age will be characterized by the ability of individuals to transfer information freely, and to have instant access to knowledge that would have been difficult or impossible to find previously。
