The Issue Of Social Isolation In Cyberspace

As the further development of social space in information age, cyberspace has become a brand-new kind of human society, which beyond the physical limitation. At the present, we can divide the cyberspace into four sub-spaces: space for commerce, space for interest, space for communication and space for fantasy. Cyberspace is multifunctional, on one hand we can get more strengthened interrelation and wider view here, on the other hand we will meet new issues caused by the reform of method for communication, one of which is the transformation of social isolation from real social space to virtual cyberspace, as well as the topic of this paper. In this paper, we can see the four exemplifications of social isolation in cyberspace: isolation society, strangers'space and the Communality Gap both within the space and between the in-space and out-space. For the reasons, we can see three: the side-effect of cyber-communication, such as the indirection, virtual, distrust and the absence of emotion; the alternating personality and self-identity difficulty of cyber subjects; and the elimination of subjectivity caused by the virtual living space and the disappearance of space-time limitation. In order to address the issue, we should establish a reasonable and orderly cyber-society, to improve the cyber-regulation, to foster the self-ethic, and reinforce the conformity between real space and cyberspace.
