What does the information cocoon room mean?

Information cocoon house refers to the phenomenon that people's information field will be habitually guided by their own interests, thus confining their lives to cocoon houses like cocoons.

Because information technology provides a more self-thinking space and a vast amount of knowledge in any field, some people may further escape various social contradictions and become isolated. Although communication within communities is more efficient, communication between communities may not be smoother and more effective than in the era of information shortage.

At the same time, it also means that people are closed by similar information due to some active or passive tendency in the process of receiving information, forming an information island, and then they can no longer receive messages from other aspects. Over time, they gradually got lost in their own small world.

Disadvantages of information cocoon house:

Living in the cocoon of information for a long time can easily lead to bad psychology such as blind self-confidence and narrow-mindedness. The way of thinking in the information cocoon room will inevitably regard its own prejudice as the truth, thus excluding the invasion of other rational viewpoints, especially when it is recognized by the "alliance", it will evolve into an extreme thought.

With the development of the Internet, the opportunities for direct contact and communication between people gradually decrease, and people's freedom to choose information on the Internet increases. It is easy to make yourself into an information cocoon, which is divorced from the development of the whole society and greatly reduces the sharing of experience. When there is a lack of stickiness between individuals and groups, they disperse into a force, which undoubtedly greatly weakens the function of groups.
