未来信息社会向何处去--中国语境中的技术变革与“互联网＋”

On the Future Information Society ——The Technological Change in China and the "Internet +"

信息社会在成为现实之前,首先以话语和论述的形式存在。这些论述塑造了人们对于信息社会具体形态的期待、想象和理解,并能动地影响现实中信息技术的开发与社会组织。在批判性地分析中国语境中出现的关于新信息技术、尤其是有关互联网技术的主流话语的基础上,可进一步理解精英阶层们关于信息社会的想象是如何产生的,其内在的差异性是什么,影响其观念的来源是什么;同时,通过分析这些中国20世纪80年代以来不断改变的关于信息技术的社会想象与观念,可以描绘一幅与信息技术、互联网相关联的社会期待和社会想象的价值光谱,以此建构一种历史性和批判性的视角,用来评估和阐释当下流行的新技术与产业话语,如"互联网思维""互联网+",与社会发展模式及方向选择之间的关系。

Befbre the inlbrmation society becomes real, it first exists in the form of discourse and discussions. These discussions have helped to build up the people＇s expectations, imagination and understanding of the specific form of the information society, and they actively influence the development of infbrmation tectmology and social organization. On the basis of a critical analysis of the mainstream opinions about new information technology in China, especially the Internet technology, we can further understand how the elites create their imagination about information society, the inherent difference, and the source of factors influencing their notions. At the same time, by analyzing the changing social expectation and social imagination of information technology since the 1980s, we can draw a value spectrum of social expectation and social imagination relating to infbrmation technology and the Internet, and further construct a historical and critical perspective, which can be used to evaluate and explain the relationship between current discussions about new technology and industry on the one hand, such as the ＂Internet thinking＂ and the ＂Internet ＋＂, and social development model and direction on the other hand.
