"Information", "feedback", "social noise", these words are not unfamiliar to us. It must be admitted that we would easily put the meaning of these words and these words themselves are used in communication studies, and these words are deeply affecting and even social communication. These words originated as the "father of cybernetics" Norbert Wiener. Wiener’s use of the person is known as the "ten classic" communication, but Norbert Wiener is like an "invisible man" who was forgotten. And there was rarely completed and analyzed study of his ideas.In this paper, with the communication thoughts of Norbert Wiener ideology as the research object, emphatically discusses the main content of wiener’s communication theory systematically. This article mainly from the following three aspects: the analysis and interpretation of wiener spread thought several important problems, information and social organization, feedback and noise control, transmission, etc. The first part of this article introduces the research value, the present situation and the significance. The first part introduces Wiener’s general situation and his communication ideas; The second part explains one of the core idea of wiener’s communication: "Information negative entropy". In his view, society is an organic combination together in a certain order, called the organization of society, there is a measure of this organization- entropy, and entropy in the natural state tends to increase. In society, there are still a variety of organisms. Wiener believes organism that information, the information is neither purely physical sense, nor is it a pure energy, the existence of a "model." Information during transmission, and tends to blur, that is, the amount of information included in the information itself to reduce or deformed. This organization is a group of social conflict, meaning that the process of "information" is delivered with the social organization of the decline(or "entropy" increasing) to fight the process, also said that "the information that is negative entropy." In this struggle, there is a key factor to hinder the "information" tends to blur, Wiener said that "feedback", the so-called feedback, is based on "information" after the message is sent to the recipient, the recipient on the basis of the original understanding of the return to the sender of the message. Feedback, the information transmission process, plays Control "social noise" to ensure that the "information" to the most authentic state passed on the role. "Information" and "feedback" is an important part of communication, and a major player in the spread of the "spread" and Wiener on Communication who also made utopian vision, the first person he thought was a spread of no real body, there is no inherent nature of existence, but entirely for the community to live in society without privacy. Spread in this existence, engaged in a series of reception and exchange of information, the new machine so that the mass of people spread the existence of society is no longer a mystery, but transparent. The third part illustrates the problem of feedback and social noise control, and Wiener thought the so-called feedback, is on the basis of "information" after the information is sent to the recipient, and the recipient on the basis of the original understanding returned to the sender of the message. Feedback, in the process of information transmission, plays a "social" noise control, to ensure that the "information" in the most natural state to pass down. "Information" and "feedback" are important parts of communication. In order to guarantee the social organization is needed to control noise "society", the process of acceptance and dissemination of "information" of social organism, "feedback" in the process of feedback. The feedback effect and reduce the noise, and the positive feedback is more noise; The fourth part introduces Wiener’s imagination of the transmission and the machinely society. He thought the "transmission" is first and foremost a no real body, also did not have the existence of internality, but no privacy completely for social life in the society. The transmission in this kind of existence, in succession to exchange the information receiving and, new spreading machine is to make transmission of society became no longer mysterious, but the transparent. He thought that there were similarities between human and machines, and he thought about the machine of society.With the comb and research of Wiener’s ideas, and combined with the current social reality. I draw the conclusions: Firstly, we must realize importance role of information dissemination. Information is the nervous system of the society. To life, is to live with enough information,and allow the flow of information. The effective flow of information is the guarantee of social organization and is the premise and foundation of social development better. Secondly, In the social communication, fully guarantee the negative feedback the important value of the social order, and control the positive feedback appropriatly. Thirdly, in the cacophony, free first social atmosphere and conditions, how to effectively to powerful regulation of network communication environment, effectively eliminate the society noise, is a important way to keep the level of social organization and social order will not become worse important way, and it is also very important and urgent things.
