The emergence of the Internet is the great accident in the history of human communication, which opens a new era of communication. In the past ten's years, the Internet expanded by surprising speed and displayed its powerful communication functions. As the perfect combination of dissemination medium and technical medium, Internet appears to have all the advantages and merits of traditional media that is miraculous speed, unlimited in time and space, unfixed disseminators and receivers, abundant information, characteristic communication, etc. In a word, Internet appears as a medium but transcends other media. And it will have a profound influence on economy.However, the surprising development of Internet attracts a lot of attention of researchers, though people make researches into the law of Internet communication, morality and self-discipline in Internet communication, protection of intellectual property, and so on, nowadays no paper has inquiried into it thoroughly how on earth the Internet produces influence on social economy yet, while it is just the reason why I choose this topic.This paper includes one foreword, three chapters and conclusions. The first chapter is "at the turn of the century: networks economy", the second chapter is "communication platform: new modes of traditional industries", and the third chapter is" global village: information globalization and economic globalization ", and the last chapter is the conclusions.Internet and Virtual economy were the hottest words at the turn of century. Half a billion computer terminals disperse information and do business at the same time in the world, and virtual enterprise, electronic commerce, sale-online, education-online, electronic cash appeared, and then virtual economy forms, and virtual industry become the pillar industries in national economy.According to the relation to Internet, virtual industry may be simply divided into two big kinds that are the basic industries and the original industries. The former includes computer infrastructure industry, software industry and communication industry, the latter means the industries based on Internet, mainly includes Internet information service industry. The basic industries are the basis of virtual industry, they give promise of brilliance, on one hand, broadband service maintains a good momentum of growth, on the other hand, as the direct channel tip to ultimate consumers, terminals become not only the best stage to cultivate mature clients and make innovations, but also the important links of industry chain. However, potential security danger, risk, or harm exists in the open systems of Internet, which make Internet security products be the hot shot in the basic industries. Internet information service industry that offers various information, taking as therepresentative as netease, sohu and sina etc, has experienced Bubble economy and found its stand. Internet advertisement becomes the advertising form of mainstream gradually, on-1 ine game becomes profitable business, while Instant communication will be the next way to get profit probably, and search engine services have infinite commercial opportunity. In a word, Internet has surmounted the mediumAnd grown to be a wide applied platform by its advantages of science and technology. In China, a new industrial chain has formed, namely an ecological circle consist of content service providers, Internet service providers, system integration suppliers and exploratory providers etc.Medium is the message, as Canadian cultural critic and communications theorist Marshall McLuhan said. Though there are various understandings in academic circle, however, in the history of human communication, every progress in communication technique and the promotion of ability to get information, will speed the development of social economy on different level. Internet will lead an information revolution, traditional economy can make use of this chance and sprout more new patterns, expand vast space to survive and develop.As a strong information medium, Internet becomes the communication bridge ,delivering information, such as agriculture production, supply and sale...etc, thus the agriculture information source is more abundant and information more accurate, and it speeds expansion of the agriculture science and technology and talented person's development. For enterprises, the emergence of Internet will speed the development of the business enterprise and urge more maturities virtual business enterprise of the real meaning. The gradual mature electronic commerce moves the operation of the tradition economy to Internet, which brings about the graveness change on economic mode. At the same time, the electronic commerce is electronical trade activity; as a new trade form, it brings powerful impact on the idea, management and organization of traditional Circulate.Internet not only pushes the production and circulation, but also affects the people's usual economy life, directly or indirectly changing the people's consumption idea, consume behavior and life style. People are used to shop, fry or do manage finance online.In 1964, Marshall McLuhan pointed out in his representative's work { comprehend the medium )) that the electronics information spread in a twinkling in the future, the whole world will be a global village. Today global village has come into reality. Internet is the most ideal tool in the information globalization; it means the start of the information globalization and economic globalization ages.Like a two-sided sword, the information globalization gives economic globalization both positive effect and negative influence. On one hand, at the time of the information technique and electronic commerce presenting a huge vitality, we should still notice that not only global information-based development is very unbalance, and the digital ditch between the developed countries and developing countries become more and more huge. If these circumstances continue, information and economic globalizations may be a kind of new slavery.The information globalization is an important aspect of the globalization; it created together with the globalization, and developed with the advance of human communication technique. The information globalization emolliently promotes economic globalization, andthe information technique has accelerated the economic globalization. Which performance are in four aspects, that is, the production globalization, the trade globalization, the financial globalizations and multinational companies etc. In a word, global information market and the development of the Internet speed the progress of globalization. The information globalization is the premise and the foundation of the economic globalization.From above, we can draw a conclusion: be the strong medium, the emergence of Internet changes and promotes people's ability to obtain, deliver, rebirth and make use of information. It pushes the traditional society to information society and makes people transmit and handle information more global and intelligent, thus making industrial structure, produce organization and mode of production etc. change greatly. The basis industries and the information service industries on the basis of Internet exist as the independent industries. Therefore the traditional agriculture, industry and businesses acquire the innovatory opportunity, will say goodbye to the heavy manual labor, ease the strength of mankind's labor, and shorten laborious time. For the individual, Internet breaks the limit of time and space, the association between social individuals is more multifarious, and people's physical life and the spiritual life method are more diverse. However, The information revolution led by Internet, has just begun, its influence to economy will be extensive and complicated.
