Abstract:
Abstract As people pay more and more attention to the technologies in the intelligent era, the theory of media communication has attracted more attention, especially the thinking of media thinkers about the Internet and the future society has been verified from many sides in the digital era. In fact, the development of China’s Internet in the past few decades is also the history of the dissemination and development of new media ideas. Although historians are inevitably attracted by the past, philosophers insists that the problems discussed by previous scholars are of interest to contemporary scholars, communication research often fails to show the historical dimension. As a consequence, people continuously tend to regard the progress of media as brand-new. This is especially true when considering communication technology, for they often provide us with new possibilities and social availability. The paradox of new media is that any “old” media technology used to be “new”, and the “new” media technology will also become “old”. And what we need to do is to find the hidden ideological implication of the future development of new media from the so-called “old” media thought.
