Abstract

With the rapid development of internet information age, the research of computer is more in-depth. Metaphor embodies people’s way of thinking and behavior. The analysis of the basic structure and cognitive function of computer metaphor cannot be separated from the study of cognitive perspective. This paper first expounds the concept of computer metaphor, including the structure of computer metaphor, the general understanding of computer, and metaphor on computer interface. At last, this paper studies the metaphors hidden in the computer network.
