Abstract

To many, the collocation of the terms ‘internet’ and ‘social’ may seem a bit strange, even contradictory. Either the internet is by definition social, or it is, by observation and intuition, a rather anti-social affair. The article tries to dispel this ambiguity of attribution, by focusing on both positive and negative aspects of internet practices, as we see them developing among its (often younger) users. A new vision of sociality is attributed mainly to the rise of the internet, and the consequences of a ‘fake’ social life are examined. Adaptation, both to the user and the soft/and hardware is seen as a key term in this respect, and some ethical and moral problems related to internet use are discussed with the aid of some actual cases. Finally, a general evaluation of the internet in both its positive and negative aspects is provided.
互联网的社交性如何?
对许多人来说,“互联网”和“社交”这两个词的搭配可能有点奇怪,甚至是矛盾的。根据定义,互联网要么是社交的,要么根据观察和直觉,它是一个相当反社交的事物。本文试图通过关注互联网实践的积极和消极方面来消除这种模糊性,因为我们看到它们在其(通常是年轻的)用户中发展。一种新的社交视角主要归因于互联网的兴起,并审视了“虚假”社交生活的后果。适应,无论是对用户还是软/硬件,都被视为这方面的一个关键术语,并通过一些实际案例讨论了与互联网使用相关的一些伦理和道德问题。最后,对互联网的积极和消极方面进行了总体评价。
