Abstract
The information-oriented society has been closely related to human communication. It has been mainly focused on by economic interests and industrial views. On the other hand, the totality of the electronic network has the possibility of offering an independent communication sphere which is separated and which prevents meaning spilling from the system, as some post-modernists have mentioned. If communications in electronic networks were to become a communication sphere totally independent of other social prosess, it might be a new nightmare for the society. The potentiality of the critical sphere that includes electronic networks is discussed with reference J.Habermas' theories of communication and the public sphere.
