Abstract :
Network society is a new social form driven by the information technology as a representative of the computer and Internet technology. Network society is similar to the ecological system. Not only is its internal structure a hierarchical structure, according to the whole, but also the energy flow is the important motive mechanism. Based on the ecology theory, with interdisciplinary research and analysis, this paper expounds the energy flow process of the formation and development of the network social ecology system. It puts forward the main three kinds of energy flow in network social ecology system-information, capital and value. At the same time, based on the dynamic equation, the paper establishes the energy flow compartment model to analyze the change trends of energy flow in the instantaneous and regular rate in network social ecology system. Finally, this paper studies the online game ecosystem which is a representative subsystem in the network social ecology system as an example.
