The widespread use of new concepts, the deep blessing of new technologies, and the sprout of new platforms have allowed the information on the Internet today to be vast, all-encompassing and rapid transmission. On the one hand, it greatly satisfies people's desire for knowledge; but at the same time, due to the emergence of phenomena such as " information cocoon ", it has restricted people's cognitive aspects. The trade-offs and choices between pros and cons have become a topic that needs to be solved urgently.

"Information Cocoon" refers to the phenomenon that people are concerned about in the information field that they are habitually guided by their own interests, thus shackle their lives in the "Cocoon" like silkworm cocoons. Especially in recent years, with the rise of "algorithm recommendation", some platforms seem to have figured out the "way" of "precise feeding" users. If users like food, they will push delicious food; if users like fashion, they will push the latest outfits; if users catch up with the recent decoration, they will come together with furniture and appliances... It is like a "private customized" "concert service". In a sense, this model does facilitate users and saves time and cost of search. However, in the long run, it will also lead to spinning silk and cocoons, limiting people's vision to the "land of gentleness". This impact is more obvious to the teenagers.

Compared with adults, due to age, cognition and other reasons, the teenagers have limitations in the identification, filtering, and selection of online information. If they blindly "choosy" food, they will inevitably have the problem of "malnutrition". Moreover, there are some people with ulterior motives who push harmful information to the teenagers under the guise of "saying to their preferences". Over time, it will inevitably have a serious impact on their physical and mental health. Based on these factors, it can be seen that the "poetry and distance" of the Internet must never stop at the "information cocoon".

The world and thousands of scenery can only be understood by experience. This principle also applies to cyberspace. When dealing with the "feast" of various information "cooking", netizens, especially teenagers, can pick up "chopsticks" to choose, but don't just pick what is close to you, and you can't just pick what you prefer. Only by combining meat and vegetables can you have a balanced nutrition. At the same time, for all types of online information platforms, we should not just think about weaving cocoons to attract fans. We should focus on spreading "nutritious" information, jointly breaking the shackles of the "information cocoon" and making the "poetry and distance" of the Internet more magnificent and broader.

In short, it is to look at the sky in the "information cocoon", or to stalk forward in "poetry and the distance", and I believe people will give the correct answer. On the new journey, we look forward to more confident that with the joint efforts of all sectors of society, cyberspace will serve and facilitate the lives of netizens with more authentic, credible, and more active and comprehensive information, and help more people see the world with the "network" and know the past and present with the "network".
