인터넷을 기반으로 한 커뮤니케이션은 폭발적으로 증가해 왔고, 현재는 우리 일상에 자리 잡고 있다. 인터넷 커뮤니케이션은 이전의 커뮤니케이션 방법과는 다른 방식의 소통 방식으로 인식되고 있으며, 이에 대한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 인터넷 관련 연구의 가장 중요한 주제 중 하나는 인터넷 기반 커뮤니케이션이 인간관계에 미치는 영향이었다. 인터넷은 경제적, 정치적 이익이 있는 반면, 인간관계, 인간의 삶에는 다소 부정적인 영향이 있을 것이라고 주장되었다. 인터넷의 부정성은 기본적으로 인터넷의 익명성에 기초한다. 인터넷의 익명성으로 인한 인터넷 포르노그라피에 대한 무분별한 노출, 악성댓글, 인터넷 게임중독, 개인정보 유출과 같은 인터넷의 부작용들이 보고되었고, 이러한 현실적 문제들은 인터넷의 부정적인 영향을 주장하는 쪽에 힘을 실어주었다. 하지만 최근에 진행되고 있는 인터넷 관련 연구들은 인터넷의 부정적인 측면 뿐 아니라 인터넷의 긍정적 영향에도 관심을 갖기 시작했다. 인터넷이 사람들의 삶과 인간관계에 부정적인 영향을 준다는 입장에 선 학자들은 인터넷이 현실을 대체한다는 관점에서 인터넷의 부정성을 지적하고 있다. 인터넷이 면대면 대화를 줄이고, 현실을 일정부분 대체하게 하면서 여러 가지 부작용이 나타나고 있다고 주장하고 있다. 그러나 인터넷이 삶에 긍정적인 영향이 있다는 관점에서는 개인의 인터넷 사용동기, 목적을 강조하면서 인터넷 보다는 사용자에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 이 패러다임에 따른 연구들은 인터넷이 인간관계의 물리적 제약들을 해결해줌으로써 인간의 삶, 인간관계 등을 확장해준다고 주장한다. 또한 인터넷의 부정적 특징으로 여겨지는 익명성도 도리어 새로운 만남을 보탬이 될 수도 있다고 주장되고 있다. 인터넷에 대한 두 가지 입장은 각각 자신들의 입장을 지지하는 결과를 도출해 내고 있지만 두 입장의 간격을 쉽사리 줄여지지 않고 있다. 본고는 인터넷에 대한 두 가지 입장을 정리하고, 향후 인터넷이 우리 삶에 미칠 수 있는 영향에 대해 통합적으로 검토하고자 하였다.
It seems that Internet based communication has been settled down in everyday life. Internet based communication studies also have been done and they proposed that internet based communication modal differs from other communications modal. One of the major themes about internet based communication was the effect of internet based communication on relationships. Early studies suggested that internet has negative effect on life and relationships, although it has positive effect on economics and information distribution. Because there is relative anonymity, People and Researchers thought that people easily could be exposed to negative situations like pornography, instant relationship, negative reply and so on. However, Recently there have been on going un-solving arguments about effect of internet based communication. From the negative perspective, Internet based communication is negative to relationship, because internet based communication could displace face to fact communication and old off-line relationships. However, from the positive perspective, researchers focused on the motivation and purpose of internet users. In this paradigm, people could expand their life and relationships using internet because internet could remove the various restrictions for relationship. Moreover they also suggested that people could enlarge their relationships because they could easily disclose theirselves in anonymity. However, No conclusion has been drawn yet and there needs some organization of two standpoints. Accordingly, This study is integrating the two perspectives and proposing future direction of internet based communication and relationship.
