Summary
Paying attention to the modernization of human beings in the era of big data is the dual need of theoretical development and strategic practice. In the era of big data, human existence can be divided into three forms, that is, free existence on the basis of technology dependence, independent existence on the basis of information dependence and free existence on the basis of data protection It becomes the data existence of human beings. It is of original and foundational significance for us to understand and grasp the living state and development trend of human beings to study the living state and relationship of human beings in the era of big data.

As an important scientific parameter to describe things and their relations, data is closely related to human survival and development. With the development of computer and intelligent technology, human beings have entered the era of network information. The influence of science and technology on human survival and social practice is unprecedented and far-reaching. It has increasingly become the lever of social progress and the development of the times. It not only brings revolutionary influence to human production practice, but also opens up a broad space for the ever lasting research on "human development issues". The network information technology has realized the extension and expansion of the real world to the network space, promoted the leap forward development of material civilization and spiritual civilization of human beings, and comprehensively and profoundly changed the social life of human beings. Especially with the advent of the era of big data, "massive data" is increasingly creating a new presentation and cognitive path for all things in the world. The significance of the era of big data, not only stays in the literal sense of the huge data scale, but also comes from the big data in the data record of human survival, indicating the trend of human development. The information revolution of data not only includes the great breakthrough of data and information technology, but also includes the change of data and information on the face and way of human life, which makes human social life present a new representation.

Human existence in the age of big data
"When the other world of truth has disappeared, the task of history is to establish the truth of this world." [1] In Marx's view, people's real existence is "the present existence". People exist in the specific relationship between people and the surrounding world. To study the living and development of human beings, we must really enter into the real life of human beings. Only starting from the "real people" and the "real life process" of human beings, can the living and development of human beings be consciously expressed in philosophy, and can self-criticism and self transcendence be carried out in the practice of social material production. In the era of big data, people's real living conditions are presented as the following three kinds of States, that is, the free survival on the basis of technology dependence, the independent survival on the basis of information dependence and the free survival on the basis of data protection. From the theoretical level, the three kinds of states have the level progressive relevance representation in the degree sense; from the practical level, there are cross and common reality. In any case, only when people fully occupy the survival state of people in the perspective of big data, can they get free and comprehensive survival experience and development space in the era of big data.
（1） The existence of freedom based on technology dependence
"Technology is as old as humans themselves, because when we study fossil remains, we can only be sure that we are studying humans when we encounter traces of tools used to make them." [2] In the process of social practice, human beings actively create technology, but also rely on technology, especially in the network information society, human dependence on information technology has become an inevitable prerequisite. In the era of big data, people's dependence on data information technology presents the following dimensions: basic dependence, follow-up dependence and panic dependence.
First, basic technology dependence. The basic dependence of people on network information technology is mainly reflected in the mastery and application of network information technology by data subjects. Network information technology and people's production and life are increasingly close, which is reflected in the popularity of network technology and people's application of technology. The premise for human to enter cyberspace is the basic mastery and operation of network information technology. Therefore, the primary stage of data-based survival of human in cyberspace is the survival of freedom based on technology dependence, which is a kind of skill development. People's cognition, understanding and operation of network information technology directly determine people's existence and development in cyberspace, which is a positive correlation. That is to say, the more skillful the technical operation is, the more full and free the technical survival of human being will be; the more unfamiliar the technical operation is, the more unilateral and limited the technical survival of human being will be. Both the operation of hardware and the application of software are related to the depth of network communication and the scope of network activities of the network actors, which determines the composition of the communication objects and network social relations of the network actors, as well as the determination and overall development of the essence of the network actors themselves. Facts have proved that people's basic technology dependence is the premise of massive data generation, and also the foundation of creating data civilization, building data relationship and reshaping data value.
Secondly, follow-up technology dependence. People have a sense of worship for modern information technology and regard it as a sign of fashion. Although network information technology is becoming more and more popular in people's daily life and work, due to the rich and diverse information resources and the rapid change of information technology in the network era, the network way of life and behavior still have distinct characteristics of the times and avant-garde consciousness. People are keen on the pursuit and use of network information technology. Its motivation is not entirely from the practical value and function of modern technology, but also from the pursuit of fashion, and then the technology dependence has evolved into "fast-food technology consumption". People are not only keen to follow the update of hardware technology, but also keen on the version upgrade of software system. In this process, many modern information technologies are widely followed by people, but they have not been really used. For example, some modern people follow the trend to purchase a hot selling smart phone, but they do not use (or will not use) other functions of the phone, but are still limited to the use of communication functions. For another example, a series of popular social software and game software have been rapidly popularized once they are launched, which is not only because of the use value of the software itself, but also because people regard the use of new technology as a fashion and avant-garde performance. Big data, as cloud computing and Internet, is another disruptive technological revolution in the IT industry. With the passage of time, people are more and more aware of the importance of data to enterprises and the special significance of data to education, medical care and other fields. Even in the daily life of data subjects, individual consumption data, travel data, browsing data and so on are becoming one A new way of life marking.
Thirdly, panic technology dependence. People will also panic about modern information technology and passively accept the technology updates. Moore's law shows that the development and update speed of network information technology increase geometrically. Compared with individuals in real life, the development speed and update frequency of technology often precede the time effect and mastering speed of individual's attention to technology. The update speed of new technology even makes the individual be replaced by the updated technology before they can really digest and master a technology. The rapid development of technology not only increases people's novelty and awe of technology, but also causes people's psychological panic and loss. Under the modern society, human's subjectivity spirit has been formed and the consciousness of subjectivity has been strengthened. In order to avoid being at a disadvantage in the technological competition, people have to bear the regulation of technology and follow the logic of technology passively. This kind of technological dependence, which originates from technological panic and self loss, has made human fall into the alienation state of being enslaved by technology to a certain extent. In contrast, the huge data space continues to expand with the help of the rapid upgrading of data technology. People are constantly involved in the powerful flood of data generation in a way of thinking and cognition that replaces random sampling with all data, dilutes precise guidance in general direction, and precedes causality with correlation. They participate in the main task in a full-time, panoramic, global and whole process The production process of volume data creates the premise and possibility for big data acquisition, storage, management and analysis.
（2） Autonomous survival based on information dependence
The second survival mode of human in the era of big data is the autonomous survival based on information dependence. The main body enters the network space through the "interface" and carries out independent behavior activities. The survival and development characteristics of this state are reflected in the formation and cultivation of the information literacy of the main body of the network. In the face of network information technology, people go beyond the primary technology dependence, and gradually develop the self skill development into the promotion of information literacy, which is a kind of progress in itself. Technology dependence on the basis of the survival of freedom, so that people seem to be a remote control to watch the screen audience; while information dependence on the basis of the survival of independence, rather than people in many scripts choose their favorite, suitable, needed role to play. People are no longer willing to be an outsider. Instead, they take the initiative to acquire the life role of the Internet world, and then create their own value and construct the meaning order.
In addition, from the perspective of people's way of living in cyberspace, information dependence also shows the creation and Realization of data information. Both the process of data information creation and the behavior of data information realization are different from the general sense of information transmission and information acceptance. The reason is that the general information activities are simply to maintain, transform, reproduce and copy the existing information mode or information content, while the creation of information is to generate new information through information composition and reorganization. "From the perspective of information activities, the purpose and planning in practical activities are first of all a kind of renewable information created by the subject, and the change of the transformed object is not more or less change in the quality of the object, but mainly the change of the structure, that is, the change of the information structure." [3] From this point of view, we can successfully explain people's behavior motivation of selective input and purposeful output in front of complex information sources, and also predict the behavior relationship and behavior results between information activity subjects and information activity objects. The process of information creation and realization is a complex process with multiple information processing and information selection. However, this complex information activity just constitutes the living mode and behavior logic of human beings on the basis of information dependence, which is an independent, independent and active creative activity.
Here, we do not avoid the alienation of information to human development. People's distribution and possession of living resources in cyberspace is the acquisition and utilization of information. Although some scholars think,
