The new world is being networked by the Internet. In this networked world, what seems new is the networked society and its networked architecture, in which interconnected nodes with different connections within the network are located and have different social effects on communities. Some see content as a very important element in shaping future power. But a study of the events and behaviors that have arisen so far by descriptive-analytical methods shows, the elements of power is changing from its traditional concept and new empowering elements are emerging in relation to communication technologies. As this has even become a challenge to the future governance of governments.Technology, network, information are the new elements of power. These three elements generally emerge in the four phenomena of the Internet, device, platform, and content-service, and exert power through them. The age of communication technologies is the age of the network in which the network actor is created by producing transcendental and timeless relationships on the Internet. An actor who does not see himself under the control of the national government because his relations and content are not under his control and the government becomes only a node, albeit an important one, of a particular network. Power, on the other hand, respectively, is distributed vertically to technology owners, platform owners, and content-service producers.
