In today's world,with the rapid development of science and technology,modern information tech-nologies such as the Internet,big data,cloud computing,and artificial intelligence have profoundly changed all aspects of people's work and life,and issues such as whither individual families have become common con-cerns of all sectors of society.Focusing on the relationship between Internet technology and family transforma-tion,the research finds that:the Internet breaks the physical boundary of each family,encroaches on family functions,changes the performance mode and field space of family functions,reshapes family relations and eth-ics,and leads it to a more complex direction such as estrangement,decentralization,and equality;families cre-ate new complexity in the process of adapting to complex systems,and some family characteristics also show signs of qualitative change(irreversible)in quantitative changes.However,families based on blood relation-ship(and marriage relationship)have a resilience that cannot be found in any other social organization.The original unity of individual and family,the essence of family as an expression of human nature,and the reality that some affairs must be done by family members themselves and some functions must be fully undertaken by the whole family,determine that families in the era of the Internet will survive and develop in the great chang-es,rather than disintegrate and vanish.
