互联网在中国投入公共服务已经十六年。十六年间，互联网已经成为中国社会运行的基础设施，网络信息传播已经成为社会主流信息传播方式，网络信息技术已经深入到中国社会生活的各个领域，对中国社会的发展产生着巨大的推动。

The Internet has been in public service in China for 16 years. During this period, the Internet has become part of the infrastructure that helps operate Chinese society. Online communication has become a mainstream way for the flow of information of society, and online information technology has entered various social sectors of the country, which is a powerful impetus for the development of Chinese society.

仅最近十年间，中国互联网网民数量增长了2385.21%，中国网站数量增长了10123.9%，中国域名数量增长了11139.9%，中国国际出口带宽增长了80792.79%。

In only the past ten years, the number of Chinese Internet users increased by 2,385.21 percent, the number of Chinese Websites 10,123.9 percent, the number of Chinese domain names 11,139.9 percent, and China's international bandwidth 80,792.79 percent.

人们在体验着网络信息传播所主导的各种服务、感受着互联网提供的丰富的工具性功能的同时，能够看到，互联网信息技术比人类历史上的任何科学发明都更加广泛、更加深刻地影响着社会生活的各个领域、各个层面，各个环节，各个时段，从而改变着人们的思维方式和行为方式，改变着社会的存在方式与运行方式。

While experiencing the various services dominated by online information transmission and the functions provided by the Internet, people can see that Internet information technology has been affecting various sectors more extensively and deeply than any other scientific invention in human history, and has hence been changing people's modes of thinking and lifestyles as well as the way society exists and operates.

十余年间，互联网推动着整个中国社会的信息共享。中国各个地区、各个层级、各个类别的专业媒体和组织机构纷纷在互联网上建造了自己的信息传播与信息服务的平台，形成了一个功能丰富、结构多元、布局广泛、规模庞大的信息传播集群。这一信息传播集群正在施放着日益强大的信息传播能量。

In the past ten years, the Internet has propelled information sharing within Chinese society. Media and other organizations have built their own information communication and services platforms on the Internet one after another, which has formed extensive information-communication groups with various functions and structures.

在互联网技术创造的新的信息传播环境中，今天中国公众的知情范围不断扩大，公众表达空间不断扩展，公众监督权利不断加强，公众协商机制不断完善，中国公民信息权利的实现和公民社会的建造都赢得了新的空间。

In today's new environment of information transmission created by Internet technology, the public's scope of knowledge and expression has been continuously expanding and rights to supervise growing and consultative mechanisms improving, which have won new spaces for the realization of the information rights of the Chinese public and the building of civil society in China.

今天，互联网技术在中国的应用正在告别互联网早期公共信息传播与私人信息传播的初始形态，完成着从简单到复杂、从单一到多元、从初级到高级的历史演进，释放着它推进社会生活各个领域发生变革的巨大潜能。

Today, applications of Internet technology in China is bidding farewell to the preliminary state of being a tool for public and private information transmission and finishing the historical evolution from simplicity to complexity, oneness to pluralism, and a primary level to an advanced level, releasing its huge potential to propel transformations in various social sectors.

面向社会各个群体、针对社会各种需求的网络信息传播服务，被政府机构网站、专业组织网站、专业媒体网站、各类商业网站不断地开掘和完善。在网络技术的推进下，社会公众不仅赢得了获取信息的更多的便利，更重要的是他们也开始作为创造主体，加入了信息制作、信息传播、信息服务提供的全过程。

Websites of the government, professional organizations, media and other commercial Websites have continuously explored and improved online information communication services to satisfy the needs of various groups of society. With the help of Internet technology, the public has won more conveniences for obtaining information and more importantly, they have begun to assume the role of authors to participate in the entire process of the production, transmission and information delivery.

如果说五年前新闻传播学界谈到的媒体融合，更多地还是指网络信息技术正在改变着信息的采集、合成、传播和经营的各个环节的运行方式，把历史上不同媒体形态的独立演进过程统一为一个更加丰富、更加有序的过程。那么今天，随着Blog、Tag、SNS、RSS、wiki等代表着Web 2.0新一代网络信息传播模式的核心技术日益广泛的应用，我们则更深刻地感到网络信息技术正在推进的信息传播的技术手段、功能结构和形态模式的界限改变及由此引发的社会运行方式的变革。

If the media convergence talked about by the academia of journalism and communication five years ago referred to Internet technology's change of the modes of operation of various segments of the gathering, synthesis, transmission and business development of the information and the integration of various independent evolutions of media types in history into a richer and more orderly process. Today, with the ever-increasing applications of core technology of the new generation of Web2.0 mode of information communication represented by blogs, tags, SNS, RSS and wiki, we deeply feel that Internet information technology is propelling the changes of technical approaches, functional structures and pattern modes to further change the transformation of the modes of the operation of society.

我们看到，今天，信息的传播者正在从制作信息到聚合信息，从发布信息到经营信息，从输出本体信息传播能量到整合网络信息能量。与此同时，信息的接收者从被动接受信息到主动创作信息，从单一获取信息到全面利用信息，从信息索取的孤立个体变为信息交流的聚合群体。这个变化是深刻的，它不仅推进着网络信息总量的急剧扩张，而且推进着网络信息的更大范围的更加便利的共享。

Nowadays, we have seen that transmitters of information are aggregating information instead of producing it, operating instead of publishing, and integrating the power of online information instead of releasing the power of the transmission of the information of their own. At the same time, receivers of information produce information instead of passively receiving information, fully use information instead of only obtaining information, and they have changed into aggregating groups of information communication from independent individuals seeking information. These changes are profound. They will not only propel the rapid expansion of the total amount of online information but also promote more convenient sharing of online information in a larger scope.

网络已经成为人类共创信息与共享信息的平台，人类在长期历史间创造并承袭着的信息传播模式，正在网络信息技术的推动下发生本质性改变。互联网正在将信息传播的能量从网络延伸到网络之外的更为广阔的社会生活领域，对社会生活的各个方面产生着影响与改变。

The Internet has become a platform for the world to produce and share information. The modes of information communication created and inherited throughout history are undergoing essential transformations propelled by Internet information technology. The Internet is extending the power of information transmission beyond the Internet to broader social spheres and is exerting influence on various social sectors.

互联网所推进的信息传播模式的改变，加大了信息提供的总量，深化了信息价值的开掘，提升了信息使用的效率。

The change of the modes of information transmission propelled by the Internet has increased the total amount of information offered, deepened the excavation of the
