From the late 20th, we enter the internet-era. Being a medium, network has pervaded into all respects of our lives. It is a new electronic medium, in front of which the traditional media which are no matter radio or television are fading their color. Network has a magic that no one can resist. Using the technology advantages which mix words, data, images and sound together the network fill the great gulf between the traditional media. Internet is the greatest tool for transmitting.With the developing of network, we human tie to one kind of media faster, which is digital and formalized. A real network is not a pure physical conception any longer. It has changed our mind but also affected the traditional rules, values and criterion. The effect of the network is so great that our era is called"the internet era".This paper starts with the characteristics of network, and analyses the differences between the traditional media and the new media-internet. Because the network has many unique traits, such as multeity, multimedium, subjunctive and so on, it has the unheard-of magnetism. We are attracted by the internet so deeply that we are affected by the net very much. On the net we have found a new way to live our life, which is free and fresh and we have more choices. The network has a power that no medium that exists before can match. t is said by Manshall Mcluhan that medium is the extension of ourselves, then how the network affect us and our society?First this paper focuses on the human beings. Affecting by the internet a new way to live our life has come out. The theory–earth village posed by Manshall Mcluhan comes out to be true in the internet-era. When one wants to visit someone or some place all he has to do is to press the keyboard or the mouse. And everything he wants will show up at a second, as if they are your neighbors. We can travel around on the internet, but the real space we need to live is becoming smaller and smaller. We require large room no longer.At the same time we are leading a spiritual life full of energy. We are surfing on the internet just like opening a window in a closed room. We get more fresh air and more beautiful scenery. There are so many lives that we never experienced. The internet provides us with a platform where we can speak freely. The capabilities of analyzing, thinking and recognizing have improved. The internet is not only gathering knowledge but also gathering ideas. The internet has also provided a space where we can make friends and find love, and the most important point is on the internet we do not have to show the real information about ourselves to others. It is like a costume ball, where we need not know the real face of the partner. The internet offers not only space but also time for us to think. Although the internet has lots of information all the information on the net can be used at one's convenience. We do not have to lead the life in the TV-era, instead we are free to swim in the knowledge sea.The development of the internet has also brought about anew way to think. We are growing to be a superman in thinking. The internet using the hyper text to transmit information, affecting by which we begin to walk a new way. The new way to think is keeping jumping and we will never find the final line. As long as the link exists thinking will not stop.The internet results in the appearance of a new relationship between each other. We are changed into a node in the large net, emitting chains that links to others. In the large database of the internet we join into it initiatively or reluctantly.Is it the truth that we are catabolized by the internet? In this paper our point is just opposite to the earlier opinion. The development of the internet accelerates the speed of our steps. What is the essence of our human beings. The answer is certainly not the existence of our body. The existence of our minds is the right one. It is the development of our noble minds that show us human out of the averages. The internet indeed has changed us to be nodes. However, such nodes are not of the same qualities. They are exploding inwards, and their thinking is more actively than those in other eras. Further more they are working more hardly, the only difference is the place where they are performing their work. In the old days the work place is on the earth, but nowadays we are working on the net. We can not write nothing about our society when we touch human beings because the society is the organism of our human beings. In the society where the internet has pervaded to every corner the perplexing relationship has simplified. Our society is made up of three kinds of human. One is those who use the internet initiatively, and release information. Anther is those who can not live without internet, but they seldom add information to the internet. The other is those who never touch the internet. However the last kind of people will disappear in the future. The relationship between one another will be simplified into linking and being linked.Thus the conception of space will disappear. If one will any node on the internet will link to others easily. And the internet will keep developing fast so that it can cover more places. The result is more and more affairs are transplanted onto the internet, and they are turned into 0 or 1.Last, we discuss the relationship between entropy and the order of our society. We start with the introduction of the conception of entropy. And then discuss the relationship between the entropy and media. Especially in the internet-era the order of our society wave with the development of the internet. At the end of this chapter we obtain such conclusion that the order of our society will improved.Being a more advanced and more powerful medium network has shaped a new way to live our lives and a new way to think. The relationship between us becomes simple, so that we are linking or not linking. Because of the network which keeps developing the order of our society is changing continually. All of above are showing the future of network and the revolution of our human.
