With the development of society, the third scientific and technological revolution marked by electronic computers has brought unparalleled convenience and speed to human development. As a product of the modern information age, the emergence and development of the network has played an extremely powerful role in the progress of the whole human society and the evolution of human civilization.

The rapid development of the Internet in the information age affects people's social life with an extremely expanding trend. The modern world can be said to be a network world. The Internet has changed some people's social life habits, various computer languages are being accepted by people, and the Internet has also changed some people's world outlook. The difference between it and other mechanisms is that it has greater interaction potential, allowing users to do things in the way they want, thus reflecting greater autonomy, freedom and openness, and is an independent personality.

Second, the impact of the network on the socialization of college students

The process of people's socialization always involves a series of individuals, groups and institutions, and the most important and influential of these people, groups and institutions is called socialization subject. As a new socialization subject, the network has a very important influence on the socialization of people, especially on the socialization of young college students.

(A) the socialization of network to college students is the socialization of skills

Individuals can only survive and develop through society, so they must acquire basic skills to participate in social life through various forms of socialization. Individuals living in modern society must master the basic knowledge of science, culture and technology consistent with the development of the times. Therefore, this is especially true for college students, who are the main force and successors of future social development. In order to meet the needs of an increasingly progressive society, they must have solid and profound scientific and technological knowledge so as not to be eliminated by society. As an advanced cultural communication tool, the Internet has been accepted by more and more people because of its freedom and openness, and has provided various information, knowledge and even cultural ideas for college students. By practicing and using the Internet, college students have improved their knowledge level to a certain extent, and at the same time strengthened their skills level, preparing for the increasingly fierce competition in the future society. From this perspective, the influence of the Internet on college students is a positive skill socialization.

(2) The socialization of college students by the network has both the nature of expected socialization and the nature of developing socialization.

Expected socialization means that people's learning in a certain process is not the role they play now but the role they will play in the future. The development of socialization refers to the learning process of adults in order to adapt to the requirements of the new situation. Universities will learn a lot of knowledge and culture online, some for the present requirements and some for the future. For example, in order to study a certain problem, some people query search information on the Internet, which is the development of socialization; For another example, most websites provide some information about future life, and the process of college students mastering this information is expected socialization.

(C) The network has advantages and disadvantages for the socialization of college students.

Everything has two sides, and the Internet is no exception. It has a positive impact on the socialization of college students, but it also has a negative impact on the socialization of college students. The popularity of the Internet in society makes virtual social interaction possible. Virtual socialization, as a socialization mechanism juxtaposed with real socialization, has played a role in the formation of college students' ideas, directly affected their values and behavior patterns, and is dissolving the traditional socialization model.

The network is global, the information published on the network has the characteristics of diversity, randomness and personalization, and the information disseminated is open and difficult to control. Because it is convenient and quick to use, it is likely to weaken the ability of young students to think independently and increase their dependence on the internet. At the same time, a large amount of information spread on the Internet is not consistent with the traditional values of our mainstream culture, which is very unfavorable to the shaping of college students' outlook on life and values, especially those with poor self-control ability. Improper guidance may lead to anti-socialization.

Third, correct attitude and face the network correctly.

Network is a "double-edged sword", which brings us both "benefits" and "disadvantages". Whether the benefits are big or bad lies not in the network itself, but in ourselves. The network is an objective body without thoughts, and the key is how to use it. If you use it well, you will benefit a lot, but if you use it badly, you will suffer a lot. Therefore, in the face of this powerful social subject, we should have a correct attitude, remain vigilant, use it in the right way and purpose, and let it serve us, seek our welfare and happiness.
