网络社会的本质及其与现实社会的关系

通过对社会、网络社会概念进行分析，认为网络社会是由人与人之间通过相互交往而组成的有组织的系统，是人类社会最新的存在方式，是现实社会中的人，以互联网为纽带，通过信息交换而形成的虚拟社会 。网络社会的存在以现实社会为基础，其存在的技术基础是现实社会的软件和硬件，其存在的主体基础是现实社会中的人，网络社会中的内容都是现实社会存在内容的电子化形式。网络社会作为现实社会在互联网上的映像不是简单的反映，而是具有不完整性和扭曲性。不完整性表现在参与网络社会生活的人只是现实社会成员的一部分，主要是有一定经济基础和技术的年轻人，扭曲性表现在人们往往在网络社会中刻意表现出和现实社会不一样的方面以及作为网民群体一员而表现出的群体无意识状态。

Nature of Network Society and Its Relationship with Actual Society

Through analyzing on the concept of society and social network, we consider that the network society is a organized system constituted through mutual interaction between people, and a new mode of existence of human society, and a virtual community formatted through information exchanged by the people of the social reality with the link of Internet. The existence of social networks is based on the real world. The technical basis for its existence is the reality of social software and hardware; the subjective basis for its existence is the people in social reality; the content in the network society is in the electronic form of the existence in social reality. As the images of social reality on the Internet, the network society is not simply a reflection, but has incompleteness and distorting nature. The incompleteness refers to the people involved in the network social life, who are only part of the members of the real world. They are mainly young people with a certain economic base; the distorting nature refers to that, in the network society, people tend to show a deliberate and practical aspect which is not as the same as in the real society, and the group unconscious state is showed by one of the Internet users.
