Reality and virtual
boundaries to eliminate, is an important feature of the Web2.0 era.
Web2.0 era, the most noteworthy point is that the real world will be
done on this platform a deconstruction of identity and power. For
Internet world identity and powers of a new round of reconstruction of
the gene pool. Be deconstructed fragments of genes stored in the
Internet's huge database of gene, each gene with congenital conditions
that constitute a digital personality, after an appropriate transition
mechanisms, can be formed in different sectors of the digital, as the
Internet information monitoring develop in depth, the different sectors
of the digital conversion occurs.
Citizens the gene to digital class transmutation - the role of identity and power construction mechanism
Web2.0 era of the Internet is already the personality of the real
world of virtualization editorial. With the advent of cloud storage,
information storage continue to be the expansion and storage of civil
gene may gradually become increasingly powerful data storage capacity.
Internet citizens process of gene experienced editorial and
homogenization conversion of step. After collecting the storage process,
citizens genes have the transmutation into digital personality, and
ultimately the formation of the ability of the digital hierarchy.
Identity and power construct has played a key role in the network
citizen digital personality, and the differences in the way of the
Internet world production in turn determines the digital class
differences. According to the different ways of information production,
digital hierarchy is divided into three levels, digital sharecroppers
class, digital middle class digital elite.
American writer Clay Shirky "cognitive surplus," a book that people
use the media to have three purposes: consumption, creation and sharing.
These three activities also constitute citizens Web2.0 era Internet
activities. Digital hierarchy is based on a network of citizens for the
information consumer to create, share different division.
Citizens of the digital sharecroppers class network is principally
engaged in the creation of "information" to share, consumption.
"Information" means information pyramid in the most low-end content. Its
main feature is based on the personal life of trivial words, presented
in order to cater to the mass psychology of entertainment, worthless
information. Claude Shannon's information theory, noise and redundancy.
Too much of such information, will result in the spread of information
in the dissemination process, offset by the knowledge and wisdom.
Citizen of the digital sharecroppers class network often seen among
microblogging personal private life to make a boring show to participate
unfounded network the crackdown behavior, concern and sharing too much
for hearsay rumors the network, and the manufacture of low-level, lack
of social responsibility the information content of the consciousness
and humanistic care, no logic concoction. This class network citizens
vulnerable to the impact of a barometer of public opinion, at this stage
of the network water army, Fifty Cent Party more than they.
Digital network of the middle class citizens is mainly engaged in the
creation of "information" and "knowledge", sharing and consumption.
"Knowledge" refers to the information pyramid at the end. The function
of knowledge is to make people think critically about the social
attitudes of some self-reflection and the ability to think. The
knowledge provided the basis for the formation of the Internet
mainstream values, have a certain reference value. Digital network of
the middle class citizens sometimes chaotic mosaic exhibition of private
life, interested in the low conservation information, but they are
different from the the digital sharecroppers class purely indulging
unthinkingly, they are more able to maintain their ability to think rich
cultural reserve, but still do not have the ability to perceptual
knowledge into wisdom of. This population is overwhelmingly among the
network of civil society, most of them with a certain level of students,
teachers, white-collar workers have the social experience, the general
staff of the company, executives, and so on.
Digital elite network citizens is not in the information and
knowledge to make a fuss. Their concern is the the information pyramid
top of the "wisdom" of production. "Wisdom" as the the information
pyramid top of the information, have a strong philosophical meaning, to
be able to complete a summary of the universal law of the various
events. Wisdom for the interpretation of events is programmatic, and
have a strong guiding significance. "The heart of official thinking,
thinking you have the digital elites in the observation of things, not
only with a binocular with an enthusiastic go dissect complex event.
Real recourse on the good side, the insistence of the persistent sense
of beauty is a core feature of the digital elite. Network information
ocean, they are opinion leaders, mass response of the power of
discourse, onlookers change the scene, they are the most powerful
call-to-action, their powerful charisma man talked about the topic.
The digital class into each other: information monitoring mechanism gives the possibility of
Citizens completed the class construct gene depending on the
information production content, can be transformed into digital
hierarchy it has formed? If so, what are the mechanisms of
transformation? Internet development of information technology has given
the class transformation possible, that is, information monitoring
mechanism forming.
In a sense, the Internet information monitoring mechanism is a
powerful panopticon, it is the most cumbersome regulatory treatment to
minimize the cost. Internet has gradually become an electronic monitor
at all times kept running. Any time, any network citizens a tiny
behavior and trajectory will be recorded in a substantial network of
data centers. The conversion of the digital class actually lies in
information monitoring airtight. Foucault said: "People die in the
panopticon", provides a powerful metaphor - Everyone survival
monitoring, the completion of the mission of the survival of the
Internet to every internet citizen.
Shallow divided, information monitoring mechanisms rely on the formation of two streams mixed.
First airstreams from social media with Facebook, record and monitor
the direction of the streams of people's information on to the next,
each social tool users are keen on the sound, they day and night on the
social networking platform to show self-exposure, say it, then sent out
the diagram, fill in the form of name, date of birth, gender, hobbies,
interest, home address, personal phone information is endless exposure
social platform, social platform seems to take the initiative to submit a
paper paper "resume". Therefore, the social networking platform
Facebook represented by many network of citizens' identity cards. Social
tools on the Internet information resources of the citizens were
aggregated to form their own resources.
The role of the second air flow from the search engine Google as the
representative. This air flow is from top to bottom, it is a huge
database of Internet citizens unconscious exposure. The search engine
has the characteristics of weapons is its unique spider. Spider on the
aggregation of information to rely on widely distributed nodes, each
node is associated with rather than in isolation. Ultimately achieve the
effect of "Justice has long arms. The spider's work is constantly
crawling in the site, from top to bottom uninterrupted crawl and index.
Many sites, many privacy trajectory are included. The the extensive webs
with panoramic monitoring, the characteristics of the streams.
The confluence of the two streams from the bottom up and the top down
to form a powerful whirlpool phenomenon of the whirlpool that all
information hybridity complete summary of monitoring information from
the centralized storage management. Web2.0 era this powerful information
monitoring mechanism prompted everyone to show his true face,
hypocritical mask of the network is about to gradually exit the stage of
history. Network among the citizens to each other supervision because
of the presence of this information monitoring mechanism, double face
show his citizens will be exposed to the public eye under own
infidelity; own show true knowledge will also be People worship eyes.
This way and eliminate the election, the final class rotations.
Of course, the Internet information monitoring mechanism of
biological logic machine logic invasion. The result is a network of
national carnival crazy privacy exposing picture. People gradually lose
their own private space. The private domain gradually become barren
existence of some private beautiful has come to an end.
The formation and transformation of the Web2.0 era of digital
hierarchy, have guiding significance for each network citizens. We live
in the Internet "panopticon", accept monitoring and creating
information. The production quality of the information determined by the
difference digital class everyone vesting, and therefore, each network
citizen should be responsible for their production information. Caution
personal discourse powers.
