Introduction does not explain the term[edit]
The introductory paragraph currently lists a few authors who may be credited with coining the term network society and then provides one of those author's (van Dijk) definitions of the term, but does not actually summarize or characterize the term itself in an effective way. Contributing an edit to change that. Aaronshaw (talk) 19:04, 19 October 2010 (UTC) The network age has come as a 3. Edition in 2010 maybe sombodity should menntion that and how many %that are updated info in it (2. Edition was 40%) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.191.90.149 (talk) 18:35, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
Interaction with new media[edit]
The section starts with defining what the term new media refers to. Although the introductory paragraph is not incorrect, I would suggest using a concise version of Lev Manovich's widely used and cited definition of new media he wrote about in A Language of New Media, that is: numerical representation, modularity, automatization, variability and cultural transcoding.

In modern life[edit]
Network society does not have any confinements and has found its way to the global scale.[1] Network society is developed in modern society that allows for a great deal of information to be traded to help improve information and communication technologies.[2] Having this luxury of easier communication also has consequences. This allows for globalization to take place. Having more and more people joining the online society and learning about different techniques with the world wide web. This benefits users who have access to the internet, to stay connected at all times with any topic the user wants. Individuals without internet may be affected because they are not directly connected into this society. People always have an option to find public space with computers with internet. This allows a user to keep up with the ever changing system. Network society is constantly changing and the “cultural production in a hyper-connected world.”[3]
Social Structures revolve around the relationship of the “production/consumption, power, and experience.” These conclusively create a culture. Which continues to sustain by getting new information constantly. [4] Our society system was a mass media system and is now a more individualized and custom system for users. This makes messages to the audience more inclusive sent into society. Ultimately allowing more sources to be included to better communication[5] Network society is seen as a global system that helps with globalization. This is beneficial to the people who have access to the internet to get this media. The negative to this is the people without access do not get this sense of the network society.[1] These networks, that have now been digitized, are more efficient of connecting people. Everything we know now can be put into a computer and processed. Users put messages online for others to read and learn about. This allows people to gain knowledge faster and more efficient. Networked society allows for people to connect to each other quicker and to engage more actively. This networks go away from having a central theme, but still has a focus in what it is there to accomplish. [6] Andreaosborne (talk) 14:33, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Peer review - Very good sources and breakdown of the topic. You should go into more detail on how it helps globalization and how this is beneficial to people who have access to the internet and how people who don't have access can go to public places with internet access. You should also talk about why the networks have be digitized as in go into detail on how it is more efficient when it comes to connecting people. ≈≈Alia Holness
