　　简评
　　本文有两大特点颇为值得注意。
　　第一，文章立意新颖，与众不同。作者没有盲从主流观点而对网络大唱赞歌，更没有简单地克隆或复制这些表面的、大众化的见解。作者对网络本质的批评是对所有高科技的要害的批判。作者的批判超出了已经引起大众关注并认可的黑客、病毒及网络犯罪等具体的技术弊端，而是站在更高的人文关怀的角度对网络这一新生事物加以深入的思考，并一语中的地点出对网络的依赖会导致人类最宝贵的原创力的丧失或弱化。
　　第二，较强的语言驾御能力。本文除了主旨立意高出一般文章之外，作者对语言的驾轻就熟也可见一斑。文章的引言段开篇十分有趣。作者借助比喻的修辞手段勾勒出网络无孔不入的扩张性，隐含着其可怕的摧毁力。因为在西方文化中，章鱼是一种邪恶势力的象征，是制造社会及思想混乱的猛兽。更耐人寻味的是作者在文章结尾处呼应开篇的比喻，让我们撒开弥天大网，表明作者对人类战胜邪恶势力的信心。公正地说，本文具备相当的文学价值。
