Information society creates a new cognitive closed loop As we all know, all social transformation and identification are due to their different production tools. The fishing and hunting society relies on bows and arrows, while the agricultural society is the knife and plough, while the machinery creates the industrial society. Since the 1960s, with the rapid development of computer and Internet technology, people have entered a rapidly changing information society. However, in the information society, will we really see how the wind blows? In my opinion, the information society creates a new cognitive closed loop. This is reflected in the following aspects. The first is the digital divide. The "digital divide" is also known as the "information gap", that is, "the gap between the information rich and the information poor". Its appearance makes people who can't enter the information society hurt in many ways. For example, as online ticket buying becomes more and more popular, young students and white-collar workers can easily book tickets by simply swiping their fingers or clicking the mouse. But for some migrant workers or the elderly, it is not easy to learn to use the Internet, and it is even more difficult to buy tickets online. In addition, online ticketing should be compared with who has faster Internet speed, better accessories and stronger ability to obtain real-time information. In these aspects, there is a big "gap" between different groups. Passive reception of information is the second aspect. American educator Bruner once said that learners should not be passive receivers of information, but should be active participants in the process of knowledge acquisition. Information explosion makes the information we get more and more sophisticated. But the excessive information will put us in the noise pollution of information, which will make us anxious to be at a loss, let us take the initiative to close ourselves up, only willing to accept the voice we want to hear, and rarely go to find different information to achieve a relatively objective cognition. I found a very interesting phenomenon in Baidu self media comment area, There are always stubborn people who believe that they believe in truth, even if the cost of searching information is so low-priced. Third, in the information age, the Internet is fragmenting our thinking. Internet multimedia technology integrates different types of information into one screen, which further intensifies the fragmentation of content and further distracts our attention. There was a time when I was keen on reading online novels, and I liked to skim through the plot to finish the book quickly in a short time. Later, I found it hard for me to settle down and read a famous book. In addition, long-term access to fragmented information through fragmented reading will weaken our deep thinking ability and increase our thinking inertia. With the further development of the information society, if we just follow the trend, instead of active learning and keep independent thinking, we will eventually sink into a more and more serious cognitive closed-loop.
