We are in an era of great changes。Sociology Research in the past 40 years of social changes，To emphasize the universal historical significance of Chinese experience，Often, the change of social structures since the reform and opening up is more than 100 years ago.、The big transformation experienced by human society experienced during the rise of modern capitalism，transition from traditional agricultural society to modern industrial society。and China's transformation from a planned economic system to a market economy system，It has completed the changes in hundreds of years in Western capitalist countries in just decades。Marketization、Industrialization and urbanization，It is the source of the macro social change。Despite our observation and research on social changes，Most of them are still in this paradigm。In recent years，"Digitization" as a new concept，More and more is used to summarize the new momentum and new trend of economic and social development。

Although the information technology revolution has begun since the 1970s，But the Internet began in the 1990s、New information technology revolution represented by big data，Especially the rapid development of mobile Internet in recent years，Deeply changed people's behavior and social organization methods。Social and economic life "Digitalization" and "bet365 live casino games Intelligent"，The new chapter of social transformation has just begun。More accurately，The fundamental change of human social organization methods and behavioral models brought by the new information technology revolution，Its impact may exceed the industrial revolution hundreds of years ago and the marketization and urbanization accompanied by hundreds of years ago，From the perspective of a larger scale history，It can be compared with the agricultural revolution to form a human society。What human society currently faces can be described as a big change in the "Millennium"。

China's economic development and social transformation，In the 1980s and the 1990s, it was mainly "supplementary lessons"，Modern roads along the developed capitalist countries，China does benefit a lot in learning。2001 China joined the World Trade Organization，Just ten years，The total amount of GDP has jumped from the world's sixth largest economy to the world's second largest economy in 2010，The proportion of the world economy is 9.2%。Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China，China's industrial structure upgrade and the pace of urbanization have further accelerated，Economic continuous jump，The total amount of GDP in 2020 exceeded 1 million yuan for the first time，The proportion of the world economy is 17%。If we used to rely on learning and imitating the success of Western success，When China has reached the forefront of the world，Go forward，It seems that there is no one can learn and use、The economic development Bet365 lotto review and social management model used by it。

The development of the Internet and the digitalization of social life，Both the results of China's economic development，It is also one of the motivation to create China's economic miracle。The country's investment in the construction of Internet infrastructure，The convenience brought by Internet popularization and application level，Created the world's largest netizen group。According to the information released by China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC)，As of December 2020，China's Internet penetration rate has reached 70.4%，Netizens have reached 989 million，Among them, the size of mobile phone netizens reached 986 million。The realization of "virtual society"，It will create more opportunities and more convenient ways to communicate。The occurrence of the epidemic of new crown pneumonia and the normalization of the subsequent epidemic prevention and control，greatly promoted this digital process。

When more and more young scholars begin to use data convenience provided by the Internet，When looking for evidence to explain the real society from the virtual world，What we need to pay more attention is，The popularity of the Internet and how the digitalization of society changes the production and life model of humanization since the entering industrialization era，and this transformation challenge to existing sociological concepts and theories。Sociologists need to make full use of the opportunities provided by the digital transformation，Put forward possible issues bet365 live casino games of future social research。

Taking the most characteristic core concept of sociology "social structure" as an example。Social structure，In the micro level, it refers to a relationship mode between different positions in society，At the macro level, the quantity distribution between different social groups。As a product of rationalization and presence，Positions in modern society can be separated。People are based on their own social location，In different time and space scenarios，Playing different characters，During the interaction with others，All social relations。And these people who are in similar social positions，According to specific standards，We are attributed to different social groups，If men and women、Urban residents and rural residents、Boss and Workers、Rich and poor, etc.。These groups often occupy different social resources and opportunities，to form a social hierarchical structure，That is the social structure in the narrow sense。The coming of a digital society，The meaning of reshaping the social structure of the social structure，It may far exceed the impact of industrialization and marketization on social structure changes。

　　bet365 best casino games Digitalization not only eliminates many old positions，It also created a lot of new positions，and give more new connotations of more social location。Universalization of the Internet，It will break the tight hierarchical structure and the one played by the individual's role in the section system，Equalization of promoting information acquisition。Nethery society，People can easily play multiple characters，Tort on different time and space social scenes，to form your own unique group identity。For example，The main basis for social layers in modern society is occupation。Most people generally have only one main occupation。People obtain occupation through education，Obtain power through the occupation you engaged、Income and prestige，And these dimensions are characterized by the characteristics of other social groups such as race、Gender、Conditioning age。Digital world，Occupation may become a concept that does not make much sense when studying the social structure。The group division of people belongs，May be more based on the interaction and formation of group identity based on the network。

　　Next，Digitalization will change the way human participation in economic and social activities，The meaning of redefining work。Organizations such as factories and companies such as the rise of modern capitalism，It will no longer be necessary to work and make a living。More and more people，Working at home through the Internet，Public sanitation crisis caused by the epidemic of new crown pneumonia，Donestly promoted the transformation of this workplace。The traditional economic and social forms that were originally constrained by spatial factors became more diverse，Even urbanization is not an inevitable social development trend accompanied by industrialization。City may attract more population because of convenience，It may also be going to the countryside because of numbers、Information convenience，Make the division of the city and the countryside of the countryside。Digitalization may change the important role occupied by the work organization in the social layered structure。

　　again，Digitalization will make the world more "small"，Beyond the limit of geographical space。China's omnipresent Internet has solved equipment and equipment、Union between individuals and individuals and individuals，This has created a new system that spans the space distance。Most of people's needs are implemented through the network，It is easier to form a homogeneous virtual community。The emergence of the virtual community，Family relations and community life in the real world will have an impact。

　　Last，Digitalization will generate a large amount of big data，Recording individual behavior and privacy monitoring。Digitalization lets us jump out of the modern junior "iron cage"，But on behalf of the shackles monitored by "data"。From commune to society，From rural to cities，Urbanism in the process of modernization as a new lifestyle，Anonymous of social relations、Surface、Temporary nature will lead to the decline of the bond of traditional social relations。Comprehensive digital connection and big data monitoring，Given a new form of community life for urban life。Digital governance of Chinese cities，In this aspect，Provided cutting -edge materials for academic research。
